America's Heroes Rescuing America's Icon, giving a second chance to human and horse.

Warrior Ranch Foundation envisions a world where veterans and rehabilitated horses realize their productive future in society.

Sipping Whiskey with a 21st Century Horse Soldier

 

Taste three whiskey blends of Horse Soldier Bourbon, an international award-winning ultra-premium bourbon and meet Robert "Bob" Pennington, a Green Beret who was part of the the special forces teams who landed in Afghanistan just days after 9/11 mounted on horseback. Bob will provide a first-hand account of the experiences of these "horse soldiers" and describe their life's journey leading them to create Horse Soldier Bourbon, the sale of which helps support veteran support organizations such as Warrior Ranch Foundation.

The ticket includes a whiskey tasting flight, complimentary Horse Soldier Bourbon and passed appetizers at the cocktail hour, along with meat and cheese platters during the tasting. Each guest also takes home a bottle of Horse Soldier Bourbon autographed by Bob Pennington. Food is provided by Maple Tree BBQ.

 

 

 

Due to Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD),  22 veterans die by suicide every day.

Due to neglect or retirement from race or show careers, there are over 100,000 unwanted horses.

Equine assisted therapy has been proven to reduce symptoms of PTSD.  

Through horse interaction, Warrior Ranch provides a safe haven of healing and well being for veterans, first responders and horses.

MTA POLICE participate in riding at the Ranch!

MTA Police came back for another workshop at Warrior Ranch. After learning the groundwork, they threw a leg over the saddle. The smiles say it all. Working with horses built up a hardy appetite! Thank you to Chick-fil-A for generously donating a hot meal for MTA Police participants and volunteers.

 

 

America's most trusted horseman visits WRF!

It was an exciting day at Warrior Ranch as we hosted a visit from John Lyons, America's Most Trusted Horseman. Eileen Shanahan led John and his wife and partner Jody Lyons on a tour of the ranch, where they met our rescue horses Sully and Schmay before John and Eileen sat down for a conversation that will be included in a future episode of Eileen's personal podcast, Talkin' Horses. They discussed John's approach to natural horsemanship, which is the method used at Warrior Ranch when training the rescue horses and coaching the veteran and first responder participants who visit the ranch.
Eileen and equine coach Gina Lamb participated in a workshop that John led at a nearby stable, where they came away inspired by the expert coaching and encouragement they received from John. We are pleased to have made yet another great connection among the most respected natural horsemanship trainers in the country.
Many thanks to John and Jody, and their adorable dog Charlie, for spending time at the ranch with us!
