America's Heroes Rescuing America's Icon, giving a second chance to human and horse.

Warrior Ranch Foundation envisions a world where veterans and rehabilitated horses realize their productive future in society.

4th ANNUAL BENEFIT

The Warrior Ranch Annual Benefit on October 6th was a rousing success, and we are so grateful for all who supported us to make this a great day for the veterans, first responders and rescue horses. We not only met our fundraising goal; we galloped past it!

There are plenty of thank yous needed for the sponsors, the volunteers and the guests who support our mission. We could not do it without you. While the sunny day at the ranch made for a very festive day, we also made sure to honor the veterans and first responders who have joined the ranch community seeking solace from the stress of their work. They truly are the heroes of our day.

Our program of events included the presentation of colors by the MTA Police Ceremonial Unit, a performance of the Suffolk County Police Emerald Society Pipe Band, the invocation by Joseph McCarthy, a chaplain for the NYS Association of Fire Chaplains, the National Anthem by Detective Lauren Leggio-Cheng, NYPD, God Bless America performed by James Volpe, of the MTA Police Department, the Fallen Hero Table by Rose Ann Fiorenzo, and most importantly on this day, the presentation of the Warrior Ranch Winners Circle Outstanding Supporter Award to John Duffy of International Union of Operating Engineers Local 138. 2023 Honoree Paul Romanelli presented the award to John. Please join us in thanking everyone who made the presentation so memorable.

rain or shine we play with horses :)

Although we dodged the raindrops for a bit at Saturday's retreat, it was a wonderful day with the horses. Our group of mostly beginners learned about grooming and groundwork, two very important methods in developing the trust bond with with horses. The smaller group of participants gave the more experienced veterans a chance to share how the ranch visits and working with the horses helps them. As John often says, "it's always a good day at the ranch."

Due to Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD),  22 veterans die by suicide every day.

Due to neglect or retirement from race or show careers, there are over 100,000 unwanted horses.

Equine assisted therapy has been proven to reduce symptoms of PTSD.  

Through horse interaction, Warrior Ranch provides a safe haven of healing and well being for veterans, first responders and horses.
