Welcome to Willow Creek Ranch

Willow Creek Ranch Inc. is a non-profit therapeutic riding center for children and adults with disabilities located in Burlington, Wisconsin.

We are a member of the North American Riding for the Handicapped Association (NARHA).

We are dedicated to providing a therapeutic riding program to children and adults with a variety of disabilities and conditions such as Attention Deficit Disorder, Autism, Traumatic Brain Injuries, Cerebral Palsy, Muscular Dystrophy, and Learning Disabilities.

During therapeutic riding, a special needs individual’s body moves in a way very similar to human walking. The horse moves up and down; side to side; and back and forth in synchronized, repetitive patterns, much the same as the human gait. This movement improves the rider’s balance, body symmetry, muscle tone, and head and neck control.

The success of the last four weeks for the participants has been unbelievable. Two children are autistic and non-verbal. After several weeks in the pilot program they have begun speaking during the sessions by telling the horse to "walk" and praising the horse by saying "good boy Slapshot".
