Donations Help Kids and Horses

Your donation provides for the horses of Bearfoot Ranch who are the best teachers in the world. They provide therapeutic riding experiences for children in a safe, effective, and compassionate environment. At Bearfoot Ranch, we truly feel that everyone benefits from interaction with horses. 

Rescue and Sponsorship

We work closely with Forsyth County Animal Control in the rescue and rehabilitation of seized animals. Our goal is to return these horses to good health and to teach them to trust humans again. When they are ready, Bearfoot Ranch works hard to find these horses a new home with loving owners.
