Programs: Silver Buckle Ranch empowers hope and changes lives through ranch and equine assisted activities. Our programs foster the treatment of health, emotional, behavioral and relationship issues. We hope to make a positive and lasting impact in the community while offering an alternative option for local health and human service providers We believe investing in our youth helps them build life skills and self-confidence. Our youth programs facilitate the learning and development of skills such as respect, responsibility, trust and compassion. We also have program available for adults and children with minor disabilities to improve both physical and mental health. Our main mission program is Ranch HANDS: Ranch and Horse activities that nurture and develop skills. For youth in the program the horse becomes a “co-therapist”, serving as a listener who reflects feelings, thoughts and emotions.
