About the host
Hosted by Sally Ann Cheyne
In July 2016, we traded our lovely suburban subdivision home and purchased our 1985-built home located on 5 acres in idyllic Oviedo, FL. At the time, our 4 children were all in elementary school and we wanted the momentum of their nature exploring, animal loving and outdoor adventuring spirits to remain strong as they grew up.
My husband and I dreamed up, designed and planned our barn in 2017. We acted as the owner / contractors for the county permits and hired subcontractors (local individuals and small businesses) to complete specific tasks. The barn’s original purpose was as a boarding facility for retired, injured or recovering horses. The “business” was more of a hobby, a business plan that justified our passion to spend more time caring for horses. We quickly found being with the horses and caring for them to be something we loved doing together and also sharing with family & friends. Soon enough, we discovered the joy when we shared our animals with other members of our community, specifically special needs adults and children. By the end of our 2nd year as a boarding facility, we phased out our boarding client’s horses and (gradually) adopted our own herd of horses, all with stories and special needs of their own!
Each month, we welcome approximately 75 families to our ranch in individual and group sessions sessions to share in the delight of meeting the animals, learning about them and helping us care for them. Over 60 hours each month are dedicated to special needs communities and families, where community members are working toward defined goals, all while surrounded by animals and the endless opportunities to love and learn from them.

Why they chose this property
We love that it is in a neighborhood of other 5+ acre homes and it is close to the grocery stores, parks and restaurants. It is a quiet neighborhood, definitely a "country" feel, but the grocery store is only 7 minutes away.
What makes this property unique
We are a working equine therapy ranch. We have horses, goats, chickens and bunnies.
