Help Reining for Freedom Expand — Free Healing for Veterans

---

Reining for Freedom is a veteran-founded nonprofit that provides free equine therapy to

veterans and first responders living with PTSD.

We’ve been offered 5 additional acres of land, which would allow us to build a proper barn,

expand therapeutic trails and obstacle courses, and serve more veterans completely free of

charge — but we need community support to secure it.

Our Mission: Healing Through Horses

Reining for Freedom was founded by Amber, an Iraq War veteran who found her own healing

through working with horses — helping transform Angel Trail Ranch from a patch of forested

land into a functioning ranch while discovering the powerful connection between humans and

horses. That experience became the foundation for offering equine therapy to others who have

served. Angel Trail Ranch

This program is built by a veteran, for veterans and first responders, and is designed to help

participants develop:

 Emotional regulation and self-management

 Confidence and trust

 Reconnection with body and mind through purposeful horsemanship

All services are provided at no cost to the veterans we serve — because healing should never

come with a price tag. Angel Trail Ranch

Our herd — the horses who make this work possible — are more than partners; they are

teachers. Each horse brings a unique personality and history that helps participants connect,

feel heard, and learn through presence and interaction. Their calm strength is a living example

of the very resilience we hope to cultivate in every veteran who walks through our gates.

Why We Need the Land

This generous offer of 5 additional acres would allow us to:

✅ Build a weather-safe barn to protect horses and participants year-round

✅ Expand therapeutic trails and obstacle courses designed for trauma-informed equine work

✅ Create safe, intentional spaces for groundwork and riding

✅ Serve more veterans and first responders — free of charge

Securing this land will strengthen every part of our equine therapy program and ensure long-

term stability for both people and horses.
