Welcome to Double O Ranch, where nature heals, connects, and inspires.

At Double O Ranch, we believe in the transformative power of nature. Nestled in the serene countryside of Crete, IL, our nonprofit horse ranch is more than just a place—it’s a haven where individuals and communities come together to find connection, healing, and joy. Whether you’re here for a day of meditation, a community event, or to experience the beauty of our horses, we welcome you into our friends-and-family environment.

The team at Double O Ranch is a close-knit group of individuals, including the founding family, who are all passionate about horses, nature, and helping others. With a mix of experienced horse trainers, caring staff, dedicated family members, and enthusiastic volunteers, each person brings unique skills and a deep commitment to their work. 

The family plays a central role in guiding the ranch’s mission, ensuring that the values of community and connection are woven into everything they do. Together, the team strives to create a welcoming and positive environment for everyone who visits, whether for horseback riding, community events, or therapeutic programs. 

The team's shared mission is to make a meaningful impact by fostering connections between people, horses, and the natural world, with their dedication shining through every aspect of the ranch’s operations.
