History

Since 2009, Promise Ranch has grown from having just one instructor and a handful of students, to having four PATH Int’l. Certified instructors, an Occupational Therapist, an Occupational Therapy Assistant, a Physical Therapist, and between 60 and 90 riders each week!

We also have an amazing team of compassionate, dedicated volunteers, and 10 wonderful therapy horses who help to make our program possible.

Dear Promise Ranch Community

The Madison Strong Fund was created in honor of local 8th grade student Madison Cleveland. Madison was known best to her friends and family as an incredibly creative, graceful, an active thirteen year old whose love for her family, friends, horses and dogs outweighed all other things in life. Please go to our “Madison Strong” page to learn more and to donate in her honor and memory to carry on her beautiful spirit.

Sarah’s parents told us, “Sarah LOVES going to Promise. She gets up on Saturday and puts on all of her horse gear so she can go ride her horse, Lucky. She was up so early to go there this weekend that we had trouble getting her to understand that we still had to wait 2.5 hours before we could leave!"

Horseback riding for Amy is one of the most fun, stimulating, and physically beneficial activities that she participates in. What Amy can do on horseback has actually become the basis for the recommendations made by her orthopedic specialists with regards to surgeries, physical therapies, and botox injections.
