The ranch is where it all starts.
Animals have always been the heart of D&E—from horses and boarding to the critters that turn an ordinary party into something kids remember.
Care, connection and a lot of personality.
D&E offers horse boarding, indoor and outdoor arenas, riding lessons and transport. The ranch also hosts family-friendly critter experiences with goats, mini horses, donkeys, alpacas, mini-Dexter cattle, sheep, pigs, rabbits and more.
A place for four-legged guests of every size.
Year-round indoor and outdoor kenneling is available, including a temperature-controlled facility, long and short stays, exercise and attention.
Indoor + outdoor care
Long or short stays, plenty of attention and room to move.
Erin, Dusty & family
A ranch carried forward through a love of animals, hard work and community.
A story with deep local roots.
Erin Linder grew up at the Critter Ranch with other local youths under the guidance of Jackie Strautch, whose love of horses and generosity shaped generations of people around the ranch. D&E continues that spirit today.
The ranch also honors the memories of Marian Nyhus and William Doan—people whose influence remains part of the values behind the work.
