Can I donate my tack and/or horse equipment?
We are always on the lookout for tack. We are asking those who would like to donate tack to ship it to our address, or bring it by during our open hours. We also want donors to be aware that if we are unable to use tack we will find a good home for it, or sell it to raise funds for the ranch. Please see our Wish List for specific items. 

Can I donate my horse to the ranch?
We accept horses from many types of situations. Horses kept by the ranch that are donated, rescued, or purchased for the program must demonstrate an aptitude for acceptance of children, and a willingness to work. Ranch horses can be used in our lesson program up to four times per day and must be physically and mentally capable to do so. Because of this we are selective in the horses we accept as donations. The ranch is rarely able to accept horses with limitations due to age, behavior problems, or soundness. If you are looking for a home for your horse pease see our horse acceptance criteria page.
