Guided Animal Connections & Horse Therapy Classes


Something for ALL LEVELS & ABILITIES
Experience the Magic of Horses from $1 per person​!


Have you ever been on a traditional trail ride and felt a little uneasy? Most conventional horse programs rely on forced compliance. The horses don't have a choice, and deep down, you can feel that lack of trust. Not only does this prevent a true bond from forming, but it can also compromise your safety.

There's a better way! Come join us for a transformative journey with our dedicated team and discover why the freedom of choice makes all the difference!

Our interactive experiences offer fun and educational opportunities to connect with these incredible animals in a way few ever get to see. We guarantee an up-close introduction to the resilience and spirit of the rescue horse, from wild mustangs to former race horses. We welcome school groups, scout troops, animal lovers, corporate teams, and any other community organization you may belong to. Our focus is on education, positive reinforcement, and providing a compassionate second chance.

Experience the Restorative Power of Connecting with Animals.


Know Before You Go

Treats: You are welcome to bring your own apples and carrots for the animals. No other treats are allowed. We will have treats available for purchase on-site.

Attire: Appropriate footwear (closed-toe) and helmets (provided) are required at all times during the experience.

Safety: You will be accompanied by R+ trained professionals at all times to ensure the safety of both you and the animals.

​The Animals: Which animals you work with is entirely at the discretion of the trainers, and the animals themselves!


Founded by Dr. Jena Questen, Aspen Park Vet Hospital's owner and lead veterinarian, ResqRanch is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit sanctuary. Our mission is to educate the public on compassionate animal care,  share the principles of positive reinforcement (R+) animal training, and provide a safe haven where animals and humans can heal and grow together. All proceeds from these experiences go directly back to feeding and caring for our sanctuary animals.


What Happens After You Enroll?
​

You will land on a confirmation page and receive a few emails including a receipt, access to the ResqRanch community, access to DrQ's Horse Training Masterclass, and details on your ResqRanch Horse Experience reservation.

Check your inbox immediately for a "Schedule Your Visit" email. Because we keep our groups small to ensure the safety and comfort of our horses, all dates are first-come, first-served. Our experiences are held Thursdays at 2pm, and Sundays at Noon. Please reserve your specific date as soon as you receive that email.
