Help Miracle Ranch maintain its herd
We need your help to give each horse all the care they need.
Horse-loving campers and therapeutic riders, our horses at Miracle Ranch need your help! We have a herd of horses that call Miracle Ranch home. While other parts of camp require less care, our horses need a lot of love and care on a daily basis. That includes giving each one quality feed, water, grooming, riding, and healthcare. It also requires cleaning their stalls, arena, and barn, and maintaining the trails on which they exercise and take campers on rides.
If you’ve met our horses, you know that they are very special. They are part of our family … and they can be part of yours when you join the Miracle Horse Club and help provide for their needs. We need you to help us take care of a horse that you love, or one you have yet to meet, at Miracle Ranch. The proper boarding of each horse costs approximately $10,000 for the year.
Will you become a member of our Miracle Horse Club and sponsor one of our horses so that they can continue to serve our campers?
