Mission: Their Struggle Too many Veterans are suffering from PTSD, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and are choosing to end their own lives. We often hear the phrase “22 a day,” referring to the number of Veterans that commit suicide daily. Unfortunately, the number is climbing. We believe that any number is too high so in 2017, we formed The Veterans Ranch. Our Mission Our mission is to assist Veterans and their families through Equine Therapy, a range of treatments that involve activities with horses to promote human physical and mental health. We assist these great Americans and their families in laying down heavy coats of burden and walk away as newer and improved versions of themselves. Our Vision Defeat PTSD and end U.S. Military Veteran suicide by delivering caring, compassionate, and premier equine therapy at a Flagship Ranch that provides full-spectrum capabilities. Establish and sustain affiliate ranches in the U.S. and internationally that will serve more Military Veterans in need, increase PTSD understanding, and communicate our mission with honor.
Results: The Veterans Ranch is currently averaging a 67% success rate of those that have admitted some level of PTSD and that our programs are helping them and their families.
