How horses help our veterans and first responders
Ranch day!
“It’s always a great day at the ranch”! Another memorable retreat with our veterans, first responders and horses this weekend. Thank you to Bean and Bagel and the Antun Foundation for their support.

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.
