About me: Myspace Layouts
I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
The El Dustberry ranch is an extraordinary 501c non-profit therapeutic organization nestled in Topanga Canyon, deep withing the majestic Santa Monica mountains. Discover a unique ranch retreat that empowers learning and healing through nature and horses.
Through interaction with horses and nature, and through the histories of our rescued horses, our programs teach key principles of life, such as the power of sharing, tolerance, respect, appreciation, cause and effect, and that each of us makes a powerful difference. This one-of-a-kind approach imparts knowledge as a powerful character-building tool which enhances our everyday lives. Experience life from a new perspective!

ElDustberry's special "Outdoor Classroom" program is available for large groups; such as private schools, Scout groups, and other special needs/educational groups. We have a small picnic area and restrooms on the premises. So make your next excursion an unforgettable and valuable experience for your little ones!! And don't forget your camera!
We also offer private, one on one therapy/teaching sessions for anyone with a desire to get closer to nature through horses. We make a difference!!
Who I'd like to meet: Everyone is welcome! We embrace any and all people with special needs, and the people who love them! We work with cancer patients, child or adult, during or after treatment. We also work with children and adults with autism, HIV/AIDS, physical or learning disabilities, substance abuse recovery, and at-risk youth. Our programs empower healing of all kinds, creating relationships built on trust and mutual respect, and enriching one's sense of self and well being. We teach basic, natural, and gentle horsemanship skills, which soothe the mind, body and spirit. We focus on interaction on the ground to create a bonding relationship, which allows for a more trusting riding relationship. We never use saddles, bits, or shoes with any of our horses. All of our horses are rescues, and have been lovingly rehabilitated to work with children from all walks of life. Each horse has a story that helps kids understand the concepts of compassion and empathy.
Our lessons enhance self-esteem, confidence and compassion toward animals and our fellow humans!

Just wanted to know how you are? What new things are happening at Dustberry? Hope your summer was awesome. Let me know if I can do anything from this neck of the woods. Bye for now and enjoy your work and life and stay well.
On behalf of all the fuzzy, feathered and furry pet therapy animals (many of them rescues), we send our aloha and wish you a safe and happy 4th of July.
Stopping by to spread the love. Thank you for being the wonderful YOU that YOU are! Barefoot
Lighthouses are beacons of hope and reassurance signposts to safety and warmth. A bright glow on the horizon of dark nights and turbulent seas restorers of faith, confidence and strength dispellers of anguish, fear and despair shining guides of the lost. Did you realize that just your kind smile from the heart transforms you into a lighthouse and helps change the view of the many to believe in a secure world and in the goodness of man? Did you know it even touches the indifferent? (Christi Becker)
