Abstract The Porter’s Angels Ranch has been organized to encourage, promote, advertise and develop the ranch type horses as a unique and excellent athlete, Porter’s Angels Ranch was named after a man who wanted to share my dreams of helping mentally challenged children and adults. Tim Porter has encouraged, and challenged me to go after what is in my heart and what I believe in, my dreams that is the love for horses which are the angels of the ranch to help the mentally challenged children and adults. Sharing a gift to each individual that has never thought they would have that one chance of happiness is so satisfying. To see a child smile or an adult say they cannot do it and then with the therapy we provide accomplishes what they thought they cannot do the excitement in their eyes is satisfying enough to make anyone smile. Through the volunteers and horses Porter’s Angels find hope, growth, and compassion for each individual person. Therapeutic benefits for the ranch would be to teach the rider rhythmically movement that would help the mentally challenged person to improve their posture, balance, and muscle control, it also provides cardiovascular benefits. Psychosocially the therapy increases concentration, it also improves the thought processing and the rider’s ability to clear their emotions and develop awareness, which in return would build their self-esteem and
