Double the Joy this February
Carousel Wishes & Valentine Kisses
February, 2024 - Issue #227

"We felt from Day One that we were part of a community, an unconditional loving family. Within a few weeks, we noticed improvements in Gianna's muscle tone and wellbeing. Her body is typically stiff. The sessions address this stiffness in small increments so she doesn't necessarily feel any pain or realize that her body is working so hard. She has gained much more trunk control and rotation in her upper body. Not only is Gianna getting her orthopedic needs met, she is also getting her social and emotional needs met. Physical changes are wonderful but being at the Ranch provides Gianna her own 'thing' that gives her a sense of belonging. The entire experience is what makes Carousel Ranch so special to us."

Carousel Ranch Transforms Lives, One Special Child at a Time

Step into the enchanting world of Carousel Ranch and you'll find that the hearts of its children are bound to captivate yours. These young souls face special challenges that many of us may never fully comprehend, yet their unwavering spirit and determination to conquer the impossible shine brightly. What sets Carousel Ranch apart as a truly magical place? At first glance, it may seem like pure fun, but beneath the surface, lies a transformative therapy experience. The equestrian therapy offered at the ranch creates a tailored program for each child, addressing their unique needs and goals. The rhythmic movement of the horse triggers a physiological response, relaxing tight muscles, enhancing muscle tone and improving balance, coordination and control. This, in turn, empowers children to achieve milestones like using their hands and arms, sitting, standing and even walking. The magic doesn't stop there; emotionally, a profound bond between horse and human forms, making the seemingly impossible, possible. Witnessing a child's metamorphosis in this nurturing environment leaves an indelible mark on the hearts of all who experience it. Each year, countless children with special needs eagerly await the opportunity to enhance their well-being and savor life at Carousel Ranch. As the demand for their services grows, the ranch expands its reach to serve even more children. You have the power to make a difference in these young lives by supporting the annual "Carousel Wishes & Valentine Kisses" campaign. Together, we can contribute to the growth of Carousel Ranch, transforming the lives of these extraordinary children, one cherished moment at a time.
