Joy Ranch is both a non-profit organization and an actual 126 acre ranch located a few miles outside of Watertown, South Dakota.
Founded by Joy Nelson, the organization’s core mission is to help challenged individuals get a chance to meaningfully connect with horses. Typical recipients of this program include everyone from foster children to those with life-altering conditions, disabilities, or diseases.
We fund these experiences by offering our stunning western getaway to church groups, corporate groups, clubs, and other members of the public. Come stay with us and enjoy a scenic, rustic, one of a kind destination.
