Mission

The mission of Willow Creek Ranch, Inc. is to improve the quality of life for children and adults with special needs by giving them the ability to enhance their physical, emotional, and cognitive development through the use of equine-assisted activities and therapies (EAAT). The benefits of equine assisted activities are as numerous as the types of disabilities and conditions that participants present. Research shows that children and adults can experience physical, emotional and mental rewards.

Willow Creek Ranch serves SE Wisconsin; Milwaukee, Racine, Kenosha, Walworth, Waukesha, and Dane counties.

Notes from the nonprofit

Austin started riding Toby Horse in May of 2018, and in August, Austin got on his bicycle with training wheels and took off riding like he’d always been doing it! We truly believe riding Toby helped Austin gain the confidence and core strength he needed to balance on the bicycle and feel secure while riding. Before Austin started with horse therapy, he had never called us Daddy or Mama. He didn’t understand that a pet could have a name, and just called an animal dog, cat, or horse. As Austin progressed in therapeutic riding, he started learning that the other horses at the ranch each had their own names. He learned to remember and call them by name when he would see them during different visits. He eventually learned the dogs’ names at the farm and towards the very end of his sessions last summer, he did something had never done before, he called us Daddy and Mama. Before he started therapeutic riding, he protected himself from being overstimulated by keeping himself in a bubble.

Honey Creek Counseling & Recovery Services

Population(s) Served
Adolescents
Adults

Riding and interacting with horses provides physical, psychological and social benefits. We extend those benefits to special needs children and adults through teaching basic horsemanship skills.
For a rider, a horse mimics the human gait: up and down, side to side, back and forth in synchronized, repetitive patterns. This movement can strengthen and improve balance, muscle tone, and head/neck control.

Population(s) Served
Children and youth
Adults
