Meet Our Herd
Living Hope utilizes therapy horses in our weekly lesson programs, Living Valor Veterans' program, and show program. The horses are well cared for by the dedicated staff of Poco Vista Ranch. We offer many sponsorship options if you are interested in sponsoring a horse to help offset the cost of boarding, medical care, and farrier.
