Help us Raise the Ranch after 20 years of equine-assisted services. See our campaign using the QR code above or tour our facility.

Through interaction and connection with horses, BEAMING’s program participants are able to learn, heal and grow, empowering them to improve their physical, mental and emotional health. 

Our program participants see improvements in posture, balance, fine and gross motor skills, cognition and language skills, and self-confidence and assertiveness, among a host of other benefits.

At the BEAMING Ranch, we embrace diversity, we promote inclusion and we celebrate those with diverse abilities. We provide a safe, nonjudgmental community gathering space where all are welcome.
