Reaching Hands Ranch will mentor children and youth from our community. We focus our search for youth through referrals from schools, clergy, Big Brothers Big Sisters, the State of Wyoming foster program and troubled youth programs. We ask that you also become involved with the youth of our community and recommend someone whom you think might benefit from this unique learning experience.

The Process
The mentoring program will partner at-risk and troubled youth from the Northwest Wyoming area with the rescued horses and they will assist in the rehabilitation and adoption placement of the horse. The program will teach responsibility, empathy and compassion, respect and increase their self esteem. Animals are non-threatening to children who may be dealing with issues of abuse, neglect, loss or depression and can help children with issues of self confidence, learning to trust and care for another as well as a sense of accomplishment by playing an important role in saving a horse's life. We will encourage the youth participants continued involvement with the horse rescue upon completion of the program.
