"Where children rejoice and parents relax."


The Golden Horse Ranch was a very musical place. Ruth Coleman got everyone singing, guests and staff. There were sing-a-longs in the dining room, campfire sings, and the very musical end of week talent show. Ruth was always right there to accompany you on piano (check out the talent show pictures) or guitar. Here are just a few songs special to the ranch, most which Ruth wrote and guests and staff alike sang every year through the decades.

Golden Horse Ranch Song (to the tune of 'On Wisconsin')

Golden Horse Ranch, Golden Horse Ranch

That's where we want to be,

If you want to find us look for county road E,B, Z

The foods delicious, cabins delightful, horses are divine

Come to the Golden Horse Ranch and have a swell time.

Thank You Very Much

Thank you very much, thank you very much

It has been a super week with your friendly touch,

This job is really great, and we are here to state

It's just because our guests are never second rate

And if we had a drum we'd really beat it (stomp feet twice)

And give you all a round and rousing cheer (Hurray)

If you had a happy stay, we hope you'll give some thought

To another happy stay next year, Thank you.

Dish Girls Song

We are the girls yes the hard working girls

who work in the dishroom each day

Rinsing and scrubbing and drying and stacking

A mountain we then put away, HEY!

We need the patience to put up with waiters

and horsemen who don't smell just right

We hard working girls would like to see you back sometime

Just bring your teenage sons

and come back again sometime.

Wrangler Song

Take me out to the dude ranch,

Take me out to the barn

Give me a good horse that I can ride

Learn to walk, trot, and canter with pride.

Well there's just one place you can do that

It's up in Wisconsin not far

So lets all plan to have a good time at the GHR.

Let There Be Peace on Earth

Let there be peace on earth, and let if begin with me.

Let there be peace on earth, the peace that was meant to be.

With God as our father, brothers all are we,

Let me walk with my brother in perfect harmony

Let peace begin with me let this be the moment now

With every step I take let this be my silent vow

To take each moment and live each moment in peace eternally

Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me.
