At Groundwork Ranch, every breakthrough happens because of you. When you give, rescued horses become teachers, at-risk teens discover resilience, and foster parents gain tools to create healing homes for children who have survived trauma. None of it happens without your care.
Because of you, our herd of mustangs, ponies, and donkeys — once neglected or abused — now live safe, meaningful lives while inspiring people to feel stronger, calmer, and more connected. Your support makes it possible for every person who steps onto the ranch to leave with new confidence, hope, and skills to thrive.
Your gift today heals both people and horses — and that changes lives forever.)
Our mission is to offer equine-assisted learning programs based on science and developed by experts that engage and empower people while providing horses rescued from abuse and neglect a safe home where they can inspire people to live their best lives.
OUR VISION
We are inspired by the possibility of a world where all people have the understanding and skills to create the lives they want, tackle challenges with confidence and curiosity, nurture truly healthy relationships with others, and engage in their communities in ways that are personally meaningful. We are also inspired by the possibility of a world where all horses can live free from cruelty and neglect while using their natural gifts to educate and inspire humans.
OUR VALUES
Integrity – We say what we mean and mean what we say in matters of business, counseling, teaching, and horse handling.
Knowledge – We dispel the myths about horses by helping people understand the facts about why equine-assisted counseling and learning are so effective. We strive to educate people about the effects of trauma and the needs of survivors so that everyone can be a part of the healing process for the people in their lives.
Compassion – We’re willing to truly feel another’s suffering and respond without pity, judgment, or fear.
Humility – We acknowledge that we haven’t walked in anyone else’s shoes and that we don’t know everything, so we embrace opportunities to be taught by our clients, horses, and partners.
Humor – We find ways to laugh even in the hardest circumstances because when we can laugh at ourselves or at a situation, we are not victims.
Responsibility – We strive to avoid feeling like victims by taking personal responsibility for how we chose to act, even in situations we can’t control.
Trust & respect – We endeavor to earn the trust and respect of our clients, partners, and horses by establishing clear boundaries and demonstrating an unwavering belief in their capabilities, rights, and basic goodness.
