Seasons greetings from all of us at Second Chance Ranch.

Andrea from Leo’s Corner paid us a visit today. Recently, they celebrated their 15th anniversary with a fantastic gathering that brought together supporters, friends, and community members. During the celebration, we were honored to be chosen as the recipients of an incredible donation totaling $2,805!

This generous contribution will have a significant impact on our mission here at Second Chance Ranch, where we provide shelter, care, and love to all the wonderful critters that call our facility home. The funds will go towards essential expenses such as veterinary care, nutritious food, and enrichment activities for our animals, ensuring they receive the best possible care.

We're incredibly grateful to Andrea and everyone at Leo’s Corner for their support and commitment to animal welfare. Their dedication not only helps us in our ongoing efforts but also uplifts the entire community by highlighting the importance of compassion and stewardship for those in need. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of the animals at Second Chance Ranch and help them transition to brighter futures. Thank you, Leo’s Corner, for standing by us and championing the cause of kindness and care!

11 years, Laura was riding at Under The Cross Equestrian Centre. What a great group of ladies and Beth is such a fabulous coach. Many of the things we do here at Second Chance Ranch are influenced by the positive experience a great riding environment fosters

**🐴 Find Your Forever Friend at Second Chance Ranch! 🐴**

At Second Chance Ranch, we are currently at capacity and in need of loving homes for some of our wonderful horses. We have a variety of horses available for adoption, ranging from adorable ponies to magnificent thoroughbreds, each with their own unique personalities and skill levels.

Whether you’re seeking a gentle companion horse, a pasture pet, or a talented equine partner that could use a bit of refresher training, we may have the perfect match for you!

Here are some of the horses looking for their forever homes:

- **Ponies** for kids or smaller riders
- **Thoroughbreds** with potential for various disciplines
- **Horses in need of a refresher** that are eager to learn and bond

As we are at full capacity, we cannot help any more horses at this time, so your support in finding these loving horses their forever homes is greatly appreciated!

If you or someone you know is interested in adopting or fostering a horse, please reach out to us for more information. Together, we can create lasting connections and give these horses the love they deserve!

Thank you for considering giving a horse a second chance at happiness!
