Interview with Bernadette Spillane - Happy Dog Ranch

Equine Voices Podcast

I had the honour of meeting the lovely Bernadette and her husband John, as well as Gray the barn manager and an amazing community when I visited Happy Dog Ranch for the first time back in 2018.
I met some amazing people in my first visit to the states, each of them hold a special place in my heart and Bernadette and her beautiful sanctuary are no exception.
If you ever get the chance I would definitely recommend a visit.
A Little Background.
A non-profit 501C facility offering equine and animal supported educational, vocational and therapeutic programs for people of all ages and backgrounds.
In 2006, John and Bernadette Spillane had a life changing opportunity to move to the property of their dreams. At that time they had one horse Zhum (who actually predicted that they would move) but one horse on 53 acres just wouldn’t do so they started down, as John would say, a slippery slope accumulating just the right amount of equine companions.
They now have 40 including some goats, chickens, alpacas, plus one llama, and two cats.
So, despite the name Happy Dog Ranch, it's really home to a wide variety of lovely, wonderful animals and life has never been better!
