Mission Statement
At Halleck Creek Ranch we educate and inspire all to live a life without barriers. Our highly trained staff and dedicated volunteers empower people with disabilities through adaptive horseback riding and equine-assisted learning programs, offered in a beautiful, natural environment. Our programs nurture physical and mental growth, support families and caregivers, and foster inclusion and community.
About This Cause
Since 1977, Halleck Creek Ranch has helped people with disabilities, and their families, to live a “Life without barriers” through the beneficial activity of therapeutic horseback riding. Horseback riding promotes a unique sense of freedom and mobility, allowing riders to imagine the future, and to enjoy the present, in a way they never thought possible. For volunteers, their interactions with the riders teaches them that people with disabilities can do anything they want to, they just have to do it a little differently. The relationships between riders, volunteers, and horses establish connections that benefit our entire community. Each week riders and volunteers from seven Bay Area counties travel to the ranch, which is located in the beautiful Nicasio Valley in Marin County, CA. The Halleck Creek Ranch staff pair gentle horses with dedicated volunteers, creating a dynamic team that carries our special riders into the beautiful Nicasio countryside. The program uses the powerful therapeutic benefits available through horseback riding in nature to create a better quality of life for children and adults with disabilities, and for the people who care for them. As one of the largest and oldest weekly therapeutic riding programs in the Bay Area, Halleck Creek Ranch is a pioneer in the field.
