Supporting Our Troops

Shadow Ranch will serve our veterans – over the years men and women have served in World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm and now Iraq and Afghanistan. These brave men and women will be served through our Veterans Program.

Benefits of Therapeutic Riding For our Veterans

Shadow Ranch recognizes that when our brave men and women defend the freedoms we hold so dear, sometimes it can be very costly on an individual level. One of our goals is to help restore a portion of what they may have left behind in the combat zone. 

Whether coming to Shadow Ranch as a rider or a volunteer,  being around and working with these strong and yet gentle horses can help to restore peace.
