Warrior Ranch Foundation

The Warrior Ranch Foundation was established as a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) corporation in 2016. At the Warrior Ranch, veterans of the military as well as first-responders are invited to attend clinics and workshops where they learn from an expert how to work with horses in a number of capacities. Warrior Ranch accommodates all levels of participant. Beginners are as welcome as the experienced horse person. Much of the activity will include grooming, feeding, and ground exercises. As participants engage in these non-riding activities, they develop bonds, give guidance, demonstrate leadership, and help horses overcome certain fears. In doing so, participants receive the benefit of working with animals: companionship, lower stress levels, and a release of the “happy” hormone, oxytocin. The time is right for an organization like the Warrior Ranch Foundation. According to the Department of Veteran Affairs, 22 veterans commit suicide every day. According to Tufts University, equine assisted therapy has been proven to reduce the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. With your help, we can help more veterans and rescue more horses. Your support facilitates our mission: America's Heroes Rescuing America's Icon. For more information visit https://www.warriorranchfoundation.org
