It’s Wedding Season! We had the privilege of attending this wedding welcome party at the Aspen Historical Society beautiful headquarters. AND the mother of the groom is a veterinarian and loved Willie and Coco so much she included them in her speech. But it was her future daughter-in-law’s idea to have them! Even the catering team couldnt resist snuggles❤️

We had the privilege of hosting Michael Tony Newland Stark aka Spider Man via Challenge Aspen yesterday - and he ALWAYS brightens our day! He holds the record - this marks his 9th annual visit. ❤️

Congratulations to the newly trained Hunt Ranch Horse Boy Team! Despite VERY windy conditions horses and humans persevered and completed Horse Boy 1 and Horse Boy 2 last week. Trainees learned using Freddie the Frog the beginnings of back-riding with a child and long-lining along with how to run a sensory session - even introducing sensory to our newest horse. Well done team!

We serve the whole family because we need them as consultants! Parents, siblings and grandparents are our consultants. They will tell you how to interpret a behavior or what the passionate obsessive interests are. What the child loves or what he hates or is afraid of. They are your way to the child. And it gives use a chance to help heal the whole family! ❤️❤️❤️

A beautiful way to close out Horses for Mental Health Month at Smiling Goat Ranch. 🐴✨
Guests experienced the healing connection of animal-assisted therapy, immersed themselves in a restorative sound bath beneath the trees, and spent time exploring our beloved “Mini City” with its charming little animal residents.
This special gathering was made even more meaningful as it marked the first collaborative event for our two talented sound bath practitioners. Together, they created a peaceful and transformative experience that perfectly reflected the spirit of connection, wellness, and community.
Thank you to everyone who joined us in celebrating the powerful bond between humans, animals, and nature. Here’s to many more moments of healing and joy at Smiling Goat Ranch. 💚🌿🎶

Amazing day witnessing this Veteran sharing his experience with his family! To quote him: “these horses are unlike any animal I’ve worked with before and the staff is the same way. So much love and holding space amongst loved ones.” We are honored and thank you for trusting us!🙏🇺🇸
