About Us

Crazy 8 Ranch was established in 2007, as a private ranch. We had three horses at that time. A friend asked if we would be interested in taking in a rescue horse, which we did, and that was the beginning of our rescue efforts. As of now, we have rescued and rehabilitated over 70 animals mostly horses, ponies, miniatures, but also donkeys, pigs, goats, rabbits and cows. We have been blessed with the ability to find good loving homes for most of our rescues, but we also fell in love with so many that we decided to keep them and open our ranch to the public and offer trail rides. The trail rides help provide our rescue horses with feed, exercise and veterinary costs. Our horses have stolen the hearts of so many people, especially those of the children during our kids camps.

Hours of Operation

Our hours of operation are By Appointment Only.
