We are currently in the process of establishing a 501(c) non-profit organization and are asking for donations and sponsors for the old and the rescued horses, in way of money, feed/ hay, farrier and vet costs. You can also sponsor a child for a camp session and/or a lesson package! It is so important to bring these children and horses, who all too often just need a single act of kindness and generousity, together so they can offer each other the love, healing and renewed confidence they need. The senior, unwanted or neglected horses we take in love their job here and the kids. The children seem to always be drawn to them and special bonds are formed with the ones who come in as the "throw aways." Kids always leave at the end of the week with new confidence, self esteem and a feeling of accomplishment... knowing that they can do things they never thought possible.

Be sure to check back often for updates, as this is a work in progress. Please contact us to make a donation or to be a sponsor for a horse or child.

TARDY

One look in his eyes and you will know he is wise and has a huge heart. He is the oldest (35) and a master at teaching. He loves his job and is always the first one standing at the gate when the kids and adults arrive for their
lessons and camp.

BLIZZ

Blizz was given to our program after a long career of having babies. She is a very sweet, lovable mare with a lot of heart. Her name is Blizz because she was born during a blizzard!

 

WILLOW
Willow came to us from a guest dude ranch in Wyoming. She had a injury to her back leg and had foundered but she is now doing well and is being used in our kids programs and clinics.

1st Annual Bowl-A-Thon Fundraiser Was Fun for All
Thank you to everyone who participated in our Bowl-A-Thon Fundraiser. It was a good time with great people. As with all of our fundraiser, proceeds raised will benefit the rescue and senior horses used in our youth programs and to expand the programs we offer. Lost Creek Ranch helps rescue and rehabilitate horses and then gives them a purpose in our youth programs while helping kids learn how to build bonds, increase self confidence, self esteem, and learn skills that will carry over into their everyday life.
