Cheyne Ranch
Mission Statement: To immerse my family in the physical and mental health benefits of responsibly providing positive and healthy lives for our animals.
Vision statement: To offer certified, licensed animal-assisted therapy to others who are seeking the therapeutic benefits that animals provide.
FAMILY & SMALL GROUP VISITS
Gather your family and get out of the house and off the screens! Schedule a visit to our breezy barn and spend hands-on time loving and learning with our horses, bunnies, goats, chickens, pig, cow, barn cats, farm dogs, and usually a guest appearance by at least one of the four Cheyne teenagers. This structured, hands-on guided tour lasts approximately 75 minutes and kids usually sit on a pony* for a hand-led ride during our nature walk.
*Depending on conditions including weather, pony health, child’s weight and temperament.
PALS: People & Animal Learning Success
The “formal” word for this service is known as Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) or Animal Assisted Learning (AAL). PALS at Cheyne Ranch is an opportunity to work toward a set of learning goals while in the company of our animals.
PAAAARTIES!! FIELD TRIPS & CELEBRATIONS
We love to host birthday parties! There is so much to do! We also love hosting scout groups, day cares, senior care centers and just about any group that needs some outdoor therapy!
We love our friends with special needs! Call me and we can discuss sensory friendly options or other accommodations to help your group celebrate!
We are kinda low-key, there is only 1 party or group scheduled per day, and there is a maximum number of 15 kids.
And there’s MORE!
Peruse our community resources, we are fortunate to know so many incredible, talented, dedicated people! We want to connect you to people we love, from therapists and providers to our farm mechanic, farrier and favorite Oviedo restaurants!
