A safe place to reflect, refocus, re-energize, and return to life.

Our mission is to restore the mental, physical, emotional health and vitality of veterans, active duty, first responders, rescue horses, and animals in a tranquil, structured environment while providing housing, meals, optional mental health services, financial management as a part of a rehabilitation program.

The Ranch

Hiatus Ranch sits on 40 acres that will include living quarters for up to 5 participants . The Ranch currently has a hay barn, a ranch house, glamping tents and an indoor riding arena.

We provide weekend, 14-day, and up to 30-day retreat experiences for veterans, active duty service members and first responders. Retreat participants stay on the ranch, interact and care for horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, donkeys, goats, and other rescue animals.

Participants have daily chores and projects to accomplish. Also the opportunity  to participate  in various forms of recreational  therapy.

When humans are able to take space in an environment that is supportive, structured, and secure, we are able to breathe deeply and pause to reflect our lives–where we’ve been, and where we want to go.

At Hiatus Ranch, we are working hard to be a world-renowned provider of safe spaces that allow some of the most vulnerable of us to regain control of their lives.

Equine Therapy Program

Touch forms the foundation of the powerful human-horse relationship. “There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man” Winston Churchill

Service Dog Program

Hiatus Ranch’s newest service for our combat veterans is our service dog program. We are raising Belgian Malinois that will be trained to assist veterans in various capacities.

Basic Animal Husbandry

We offer animal husbandry  education and management as a unique  tool for connections  with the many rescue animals here on the ranch. The daily care, nutrition, and over all ability to connect with one of these amazing creatures is life changing.
