Humble Beginnings

Before becoming the home of New Day, our ranch was once the training farm of the world-famous jockey Steve Cauthen, a native of Boone County. In a remarkably generous gesture, a community member purchased and gifted the land to us, allowing us to improve and expand our programs.

The journey began when Beth Long aimed to create a safe and nurturing environment for individuals from all backgrounds. With her passion for equine-based healing and a heartfelt dedication to service, Beth laid the foundation for what has become a sanctuary for healing.

Growth and Transformation 

Over the years, New Day Ranch has evolved from a humble idea into a thriving community. With the support of our volunteers and donors, we have expanded our programs to include equine-assisted therapeutic programs, educational workshops, and community outreach initiatives. Each year, we have been privileged to serve children, veterans, and individuals, providing them with a place to reflect, learn, and grow. 

Our Mission and Vision 

At New Day Ranch, we believe in the power of second chances. Our mission is to create a safe and compassionate environment where individuals can build confidence, resilience, and emotional well-being through therapeutic interactions with horses. Our vision is to continue expanding our impact, reaching more people in need, and fostering a community based on trust, respect, and support. 

Looking Ahead 

We remain committed to our founding principles as we look toward the future. We are excited to explore new opportunities, strengthen our programs, and deepen our partnerships to ensure that New Day Ranch continues to be a place of hope and transformation for future generations.

Established in 2011, New Day Ranch is a fully operational guest ranch located 25 miles south of Cincinnati, OH.  The ranch occupies 127-acres of rolling woodlands and pastures and is gated and fully enclosed.

On-site facilities include an events center with meeting rooms, catering kitchen and AV capabilities; a heated arena, stocked lake, creekside nature trails; a Compass team building elements area, outdoor patio, petting zoo (currently housing goats, miniature horses, sheep, alpacas, cats, guinea pigs); and a stable housing 15 horses all trained to deliver therapeutic programs.

Before it was home to New Day, our ranch was world-famous jockey and Boone-County native Steve Cauthen’s training farm. In a remarkably generous gift, a member of the community purchased the land and gifted it to us for our use so we could improve and expand the programs we offer. We’re grateful for the opportunities their support has afforded everyone whose lives are touched by New Day.
