"warrior" is headed to montana!

"WARRIOR - A Battle Against Trauma: Learning to Love and Trust Again." has been selected to be in the International EQUUS Film Festival!

We are super excited to be heading to Missoula, Montana for the screening, which will be Saturday, September 13th at 4pm.

Directed and produced by Warrior Ranch Founder and President Eileen Shanahan and Media Specialist Danielle Altebrando, this powerful documentary explores the often overlooked struggles of veterans living with PTS and the healing potential of equine connection. We congratulate them on an extraordinary film.

An integral figure in the story is Warrior, the rescue horse whose own journey from abuse and neglect helped inspire the founding of Warrior Ranch. His resilience continues to reflect the mission at the core of our work: fostering trust, recovery, and connection between veterans and rescue horses. 

Thank you to everyone who continues to stand with us. The mission isn't over.

How horses help our veterans and first responders

Bringing out the Inner Cowboy

Hear for yourself the challenges our veterans face when coming home and the impact Warrior Ranch has had. It takes courage to tell your story. Thank you to Ryan Secor, USMC, Geoff Costa, US Army, John Berger, USMC, Joe Mastanduno, USMC and Dani Koulermos, US Army for sharing your stories.

 

 

"Like a Rock"

“Like a Rock” was a slogan used to describe Chevy trucks, but it could also be used to describe Warrior Ranch herd member, Chevy. Strong, sturdy, reliable Chevy has been a valuable addition to the ranch. He’s a beautiful mover, a kind soul, and he slid into his roll as an equine therapy horse very smoothly. Chevy is rideable, dependable, and an all around sweet horse. The horses at Warrior Ranch are adoptable to the right home.

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.
