If you would like for your donation to go directly to helping with horse care or expenses for our youth program, we encourage you to participate in either/both of our sponsorship programs:
“This is something that is so special and unique for a small community. For children to be able to interact with horses and the staff at no charge is truly a blessing. Financial support for the ranch would do a great job to help strengthen the children in our community. By investing now in our youth, our community will be healthier in the future with more well-rounded and compassionate teenagers who stay out of trouble and are not involved with juvenile probation or other delinquent behavior.”
