Second Chance Ranch, an award-winning 501(c)(3) nonprofit, has proudly served Washington State since 1999. Our mission creates a powerful dual impact: we provide lifelong sanctuary for a special collection of retired sport horses while offering a unique platform for mental health professionals in the Inland Northwest to incorporate Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) into their treatment practices.
To fully encompass the diverse needs of our community, we also offer two direct programs for individuals not currently working with a therapist: The Pursuit of Harmony youth initiative, created in partnership with local school districts, and Horses for Heroes, a restorative gathering for the military and veteran community. All of our programs are designed to be adaptable and customizable to best serve participants.
We believe in the transformative power of connection that horses provide to bridge past experiences and future aspirations. Our mission is to deliver impactful activities for children, adolescents, and military communities through the profound healing of horses. We are also passionately committed to cultivating and advancing the next generation of mental health and well-being solutions by expanding the role equines play in healing and teaching.
Our services are accessible to the community at no cost when enrolled through their therapist, or a sponsored program. We are sustained by program service fees from our partners, grants, and the generosity of our community through public donations to continue our vital work.
