The Ranch’s
WELLNESS WHEEL
FOR A WELL LIVED LIFE
Welcome to the Ranch!
Our vision is to empower people to take control of their physical, mental and spiritual wellness and to embrace their God-given identity.
Our mission is to Reach, Rescue and Restore hurting children, families and horses through equine assisted therapies.
Our strategy is to harness the power of Ranch’s Wellness Wheel to empower people to take control of their mind, body and spiritual wellness by celebrating areas that are thriving and to identify areas that need attention in order to strengthen their sense of identity.
