Sleepy Sheep Ranch Helps Therapeutic Riding Centers



Sleepy Sheep Ranch places a lot of importance on its neighbors and surrounding communities. That’s why the family-run farm is partnering with therapeutic riding centers to raise money. Contributions go to help improve the lives of the children who attend these centers. One thing that is very important to Sleepy Sheep Ranch is helping its fellow man.

Away from the city lights, you see the stars in the sky and neighbors nearby. Country life is friendly and everyone waves as they pass you by. That’s why Sleepy Sheep Ranch feels it is necessary to give back to the community. And what better way to do this than through therapeutic riding centers.

At these centers, children with disabilities and learning differences can improve their lives and their bodies by riding horses. It is a therapy for many kids who may not find enjoyment in other things. The way the horse naturally moves the rider is a way he or she would normally walk. This improves balance, posture and muscle control. Children at these centers gain some much needed self confidence that they can take back into their worlds.

Sleepy Sheep Ranch knows the importance of the equine assisted therapy which has helped thousands upon thousands of children worldwide. Many of the riders suffer from many different types of physical, cognitive, and emotional diagnoses such as cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, multiple sclerosis, and spinal bifida. The relationship between the riders, their instructors, and their therapy horses is essential to making the lives of these children better.

So Sleepy Sheep Ranch decided the best way to help give back was to go with the heart of the owner who loves horses.  The farm has paired with several therapeutic riding centers and raised thousands of dollars that will help fund the equine therapy that so many children rely on.
