About Us
We want to heal the scars time can’t take away -
one person, one horse at a time!
Ananda Ranch is owned and operated by Tricia Weldon, a Level II Certified Equine Professional through the Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association (EAGALA) the most established and largest professional association for EAP with trained and certified practitioners in more than 25 countries. EAGALA Certification assures that the Equine Assisted psychotherapy (EAP) team adheres to the highest standards of professionalism, practice and ethics.
Founded in 2008, Ananda Ranch (Ananda meaning Bliss in ancient Sanskrit) was developed to provide girls and women worldwide a place where they can awaken their full potential and develop the skills necessary to find and Follow Their Bliss.
Unlike any other program in the world, Ananda Ranch provides an experience that integrates an educational element into the transformational process. By engaging in thought provoking aspects about the feminine, Ananda Ranch works to impact the whole individual by meeting the female gender’s unique intellectual, psychological and emotional needs.
