Horses eating in community.
 Dream River Ranch is an intentional community centered on a quality horse facility. We have created a society based on consideration for others where diversity and acceptance of others is a priority. This is a place where learning and creativity are encouraged: where we are committed to conflict resolution through consensus; and where we are dedicated to being good stewards of our environment.
