Second Chance Ranch was established in 1999 and is a 501(c)(3) charity that serves as a sanctuary for very special retired sport horses for their non-riding, animal-assisted therapy program.
Leading With Horses is a program that partners with mental health professionals to apply Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) into their existing treatment plan as an alternative to conventional talk therapy. A collaboration of mental health professionals and equine specialists offers a more holistic and comprehensive approach to providing solutions and treatment. They offer EFP workshops and certification programs for mental health professionals with the goal of creating awareness of animal-assisted therapy and a network among professionals.
SCR offers the only EFP program in Washington that is free to the public so that they can reach the people who need their help the most. They are funded by private grants, public donations, and funding from our mental health partners. Their amazing herd demonstrates the equine’s ability to heal and teach humans, simply by example and creating natural metaphors for life. They deliver an environment that fosters emotional growth and healing to those who are moving forward from trauma, with proven success in the treatment of substance abuse, suicide prevention, anger management, and anti-bullying.
