Dreary weather no longer stops warrior ranch!
Rainy, dreary weather did not stop Warrior Ranch from holding it's retreat. Why, because we have an indoor arena :)
This is directly due to the generosity of NY Cancer and Blood and Footing First as well as the hard labor of Ed Barrett and Glenn Carboni.
What a great day it turned out to be. Participant who have been coming to the Ranch for some time, stepped up their game a bit, working with Sully, Schmay and Butterscotch. What a successful day!
Due to Covid -19 and social distancing, Warrior Ranch is inviting you to enjoy a virtual visit with our horses.Recall your interaction time while grooming Warrior and Midnight and remember how it made you feel :)
Stay safe and remain healthy! Hope to see folks soon!
