Up for adoption: MAYA 💛

Maya has been a part of our family since December 2022. Although she has some neurological issues that we haven't been able to fully diagnose, she is thriving with the help of supplements and proper care. Maya is a loving and affectionate horse who gets along well with others in the herd. We are looking for a special home where Maya can receive the attention and care she deserves. If you are interested in adopting Maya as a companion horse, please contact us for more information.

Introducing Bandit 🐴 👋🏼

Bandit, a hinny, arrived at DCER in July of 2024. He was purchased by a lovely couple but they found themselves too busy to give him the attention he deserved. Before coming to us, he had made progress with halter training and even some ba****ck riding. Now, our focus is on earning his trust and getting him comfortable with being handled. Once he is ready, our trainer will assess his abilities and work with him to unlock his full potential. We are grateful to the couple for entrusting Bandit to us and are dedicated to providing him with a safe and nurturing environment to continue his journey. Stay tuned for updates on Bandit’s transformation!

✨Meet Otis✨

Otis is a 26-year-old miniature donkey. He came to DCER in July 2024 after living on a ranch with his buddy Holvert, who sadly passed away. The owners didn’t want Otis to be lonely, so now he’s found his forever home at DCER. He’s a wise old soul and we’re so happy to have him here. 🤍

Introducing Daisy, our newest arrival at DCER! 👋🏼

This 12-year-old mare was rescued from a kill pen three years ago and has been on a journey of healing ever since. Despite facing trauma and fear of humans, she has made progress with the loving family that rescued her. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, they could no longer care for her and reached out to us for help. Daisy arrived on Saturday and is currently in quarantine as we assess her health and behavior. We are dedicated to providing her with the care and support she needs to thrive. Stay tuned for updates on Daisy’s journey as she settles into her new home at DCER. Welcome, Daisy! 🌼

Our next grief group is Sunday, August 4th from 9am - 12:30pm.

The program at Dove Creek is offering a monthly support group for individuals navigating the river of grief ❤️‍🩹

Grief is difficult to do alone - much less with any clarity.
In this small group, we partner with the compassionate horses at Dove Creek Ranch to learn coping practices and build community with fellow human companions on this journey we travel together.

Happy 4th of July to all from all of us at Dove Creek! While the Fourth of July is a day for celebration, it also offers a moment for Americans to reflect on the nation’s founding values of liberty, justice, and equality. It is a day to contemplate the ongoing journey of the United States in living up to these ideals, recognizing both the achievements and the continuing challenges in American society. Let us safely celebrate today the qualities of liberation, autonomy, and freedom!

A look inside our training program…. 🐴

Ensuring consistent trailer loading is a crucial component of our training program. It is imperative that all of our horses are able to load safely and feel at ease in a trailer. This skill is essential for transporting our horses to veterinary appointments and other healthcare necessities in a calm and stress-free manner.

Our certified Equine-Assisted Learning (EAL) coaches are now available on our website under the Led By Horses program tab!

Our coaches offer unique and dynamic programs for various groups:

1. Teams and Groups: Business Training, Team Building, Leadership Development, & Professional Development

2. Coaching

3. Personal Growth, Wellbeing, Wellness, Self-care, & Mindfulness

4. Youth Education, Development, & Leadership, including at-risk and all abilities

Equine-Assisted Learning offers a unique hands-on approach to personal growth and development. Certified equine coaches facilitate interactive activities with horses to provide participants with powerful insights into their own behaviors, relationships, and potential. Through observing and responding to a horse’s immediate reactions and feedback, individuals and groups gain self-awareness and learn how their actions impact others.

EAL sessions involve experiential learning in which the horse acts as a mirror, teacher, and guide. By engaging with these intelligent sensitive prey animals, participants can better understand their own patterns, strengths, and areas for improvement. The horse’s responses reveal how one shows up and connects with others. In short, EAL offers a journey of self-discovery and possibility for positive change.

Book a session today - you can find their contact info on our website!

From tough beginnings to happy endings… this is why we do what we do 🐴❤️

Higgins’ journey before Dove Creek was a life no animal should ever have to endure. However, since finding his forever home with the Fuller Family, his life has transformed into a beautiful dream. In April of 2021, Natalie and Scout welcomed Higgins into their family, drawn to him just months after his road to recovery began. Their connection was instant and undeniable, leading to the decision to start the adoption process. Today, Scout and Higgins continues to blossom, learning and growing together. Their story showcases a dream adoption coming true!

A heartwarming note from Scout…
“What Higgins means to me….
Higgins is an outstanding horse who loves to work and ride. He’s a hard worker and an even better friend, making every moment we spend together special. What makes Higgins a hard worker is the way we constantly connect, as well as how easily he listens and pursues any commands, actions, or challenges needed to work together. His remarkable strength and agility allow him to take over any terrain easily. The bond we share is built on trust and respect. I know I can always count on Higgins to be there for me, just as he relies on me. Time flies by when we are together, showing just how enjoyable it is to be with him. Higgins is gentle and patient, always being calm even in challenging situations.
His gentle eyes and calm presence have a way of helping any worries I might have.
Higgins has not only been a loyal companion but also taught me many important lessons. Every one deserves a Higgins. To end, the true meaning of what Higgins means to me is a best friend.”
