My Nonprofit Reviews

I started volunteering at Legacy Equine-Assisted Services NFP ('Legacy Ranch') in 2017 after the death of my husband and best friend of 34 years. Connecting with the wonderful staff and herd of healing horses helped me to cope with my loss and manage my grief. Every time I'm there, I see remarkable instances of adults and children with a wide range of physical, mental and emotional challenges achieve their highest levels of physical and cognitive function, increase independence, and enhance self-esteem. I've seen a veteran with traumatic brain injury regain his desire to live after establishing a connection with the Legacy horses . I've seen a child living with quadriplegia establish a strong bond with one of horses who is so intuitive to the child's needs that he lets the staff know when the child is tired and it's time to end the session. I've seen adults and children who were not successful with other treatment modalities achieve remarkable improvements through equine therapy and other services offered at Legacy. After eight years, I'm still committed to Legacy Equine-Assisted Services and its mission. It truly is a remarkable place!

Legacy Equine-Assisted Services makes such an impact on so many lives. In the nearly seven years that I have been associated with Legacy as a volunteer, client, and most recently has a board member, I have seen the care and respect the staff and leadership show for their clients and their horses. It is truly an amazing place!
