Our Services
Wild Dreams Ranch is proud to offer an array of flexible programming options to meet the diverse needs of our community. We work closely with local families, youth groups, churches, the School District of Eleva-Strum and the Wisconsin DHS Children's Long-Term Support Program.

Individual Sessions
Equine-Assisted Learning sessions are incredibly flexible and client-centered. Partnering with the horses in one-on-one sessions gives individuals the opportunity to explore goal-setting, confidence, peace, reflection and communication skills. Our horses lead the way in these sessions through practical activities such as herd observation, haltering, leading, brushing, and non-verbal communication skills. We also often include art, nature and breathing exercises with the horses.

School Sessions
We are honored to partner with the Eleva-Strum Community Support Network to provide direct services to students in our school district. Students who are developing skills including classroom participation, self-regulation, and positive peer interactions are selected to participate in a goal setting system to earn vouchers for one-on-one visits to the ranch. Our horses also travel to the school on occasion to partner with the students in Cardinal Mentoring and Special Education programs.

Single Day Retreats
Wild Dreams Ranch offers a serene setting for memorable group retreats. Our single day sessions are 1-3 hours in length and offer a wide selection of activities including: interacting with our herd in pasture, brushing and leading the horses, walking the nature trails, teamwork exercises with the horses, art projects, and yoga/mindfulness by our pond. We look forward to working with you to create unique programming and welcoming your family, youth group or 4-H club to the ranch!

Day Camps
We have a long-standing partnership with Autumnwood Farm in Eau Claire to offer summer day camps. Our camps range from 1-4 days in length and offer a comprehensive introduction to horse care, behavior, handling, leading, and riding. Participants learn about different horse breeds, riding styles, horse careers, groundwork games, and more. We keep our numbers small so each camper has plenty of hands on time with the horses. Each camp also includes creating a unique "horse-assisted" art project!
