Phoenix Ranch Activities

In support of CETA Foundation's mission,  Phoenix Ranch is offering several programs by appointment.  Participants are encouraged to bring their curiosity, grubby clothes and shoes, and cameras.  Donations help cover operational costs.

Meet the extensive animal family of African parrots,  miniature and "big" horses, miniature cattle,  pot-bellied pigs, chickens, sheep, bunny and of course, dogs & cats,   Learn how we teach them to peacefully co-exist, how we keep them healthy and happy. If we feel the animals are in the right mood, you will be able to handle, feed, and play with them.  Be prepared to smile!

Tour of Phoenix Ranch:  60-90 minutes depending on attention span of participants (children in backpacks and strollers not included in head count if they stay "underwraps" during tour.)  A great outing for families, school & youth groups, home-schoolers and animal lovers of all ages!. Kids can ride a pony after their tour for an additional donation of $6 (please request at time of reservation.)

Small groups up to 10 people $50 donation      11-20 people  $100 donation,      21- 30 people $150 donation

Interactive Tour: Two hour visits for  up to  8 visitors.  This additional time allows more handling of animals and individual attention to participants.     Donation: $15/person . $50 min

Ranch Tag-along:  Spend a morning, afternoon or whole day with the ranch staff as they feed and care for the animals.  Participants will be allowed to assist as much as we feel it is safe.  You will learn a ton about animal husbandry, behavior and communication with one-on-one instruction as we go through our chores.  Participants who want to pitch in with ranch projects and grunt work  are welcome to stay a little longer!  We might have you groom & exercise the horses, play with the baby birds, help with irrigation and pasture management, fix fences, buck hay...
Donation: $20 per participant for 3-4 hour session.

The CETA Animal Experience: Lessons on animal care and handling in a more structured format.  Appropriate for animal-assisted therapy, dealing with animal phobias, or just plain learning. see "Interactive Learning---The CETA Animal Experience"
