Before the Last Call's Mission Statement

First Responders and Veterans are facing an epidemic. One that has led to an unacceptable number of suicides.
(5)

We are a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization dedicated to saving the lives of American military, first responders, and their family members by partnering them with our horses . It is estimated that 400,000 First Responders and 540,000 Veterans have been diagnosed with PTS, with countless more who haven't been diagnosed. The invisible wounds and toll of their jobs have left our Nation's Heroes with ph

ysical and emotional scars that most of us could never understand. Our mission at Before the Last Call is to help these men, women, and heroes with this ongoing fight and to try to find another way to heal with the power of horses. About Dan

Daniel Jobin's relationship with horses goes all the way back to childhood. From age 8 he competed in several western events, taking home Grand Champion in and Reserve Champion in numerous Barrel Racing and Western Trail Riding events throughout Upstate New York. After graduating from Fairport High School, Dan became a Firefighter, EMT, and Paramedic, serving with distinction for 17 years in various agencies around the Rochester area. Throughout his years of service as a first-responder, he felt a calling to do even more for the community he served. His chance came on the heels of disaster. On Sept 9th, 2019 while commuting by motorcycle to the Laddermen’s MC annual 9/11 charity ride, a distracted driver cut Dan off. The ensuing crash put him in the hospital with fractures in just about every bone in his upper body, damaged vertebrae, and brain inflammation from the impact. His career as a first-responder was over in a flash. During the course of his nearly four year long recovery, Dan has pushed through the pain, rebuilding his physical ability, from ground zero. He realized there were many first-responders, and others, just like him who had experienced traumatic events and that putting one's self back together didn't just involve healing the body, the heart and mind were critical components to wholeness. Dan reconnected with his childhood love of horses. Striving to get back on his feet, he could never go back to firefighting. He soon realized he could serve the community in a different way: Share his love of these majestic animals with people of all abilities. He could start an Equine Therapeutic Program for First Responders and Veterans. The question was, where to start? Dan luckily found a little slice of Heaven on earth at Lone Oak Stables. Dan knew almost instantly Lone Oak was fertile ground for his Equine Therapeutic program. Dan currently runs the lesson programme at Lone Oak Stables and serves as Director of Before the Last Call, his Equine Therapy Program for First Responders, Veterans, Military and their families. He is also developing a Therapeutic Riding program for people of all abilities at the stables. He is a PATH International professional member and is certified as an Equine Specialist in Mental Health and Learning and Veteran Resources for Certified Instructors. He plans to continue building his ability to facilitate by earning his Certified Therapeutic Riding Instructor certification by Winter 2025. About the Program

Before the Last Call (BLC) is dedicated to saving the lives of American First Responders and Veterans. Through partnering Therapy Horses with struggling First Responders and Veterans. participants will experience a hands-on approach to therapeutic healing. The process of working with horses provides participants the ability to discover new ways to resolve conflict, control anger, form health boundaries, alleviate anxiety and stress, and build self-confidence. This process allows our horses to teach our participants to be present, and true to oneself and will build a cohesive relationship allowing barriers to break, communication to improve, and trust to grow.

Got to give a huge shoutout to the crews from this weekend!!! We got some serious work done even with the weather yesterday.

We want to announce and thank an organization we are partnering with to get this indoor arena up! The Mission Continues - Rochester, NY came through in a huge way! Our first couple of plans to build an indoor arena ended up falling through. They stepped up and made it happen, so we can continue to operate all year long!!!

We can’t thank Geoff and all of the people both ours and theirs that are putting in long hours turning Rolling Winds LLC into a place we’re our brothers and sisters can heal while working with horses, and provide therapeutic riding sessions to people of all abilities.

If you would like to help out with this mission you can make a donation, or pick up some merchandise at our website!!! Every little bit helps.

First dinner in the new home and someone doesn’t know what to do without the feed bag 🤣🤣

Jaxon may have been a butthead teenager getting on the trailer. But he settled in to his new home pretty quickly. Doesn’t hurt having the same two ol cowboys still playing their games with him 🤣🤣. #Beforethelastcall #fdrec #mission22 #rollingwinds #therapeutichorsemanship #therapyhorse #horses #newhome #cowboys

Some serious work got done at Rolling Winds (our new home) yesterday!!! Can’t thank the crew enough for the work that was put in (even if someone kept stalling the bobcat 🤣🤣) We will have a 100’ x 120’ outdoor arena, where we will have plenty of room to do so many things!!! How to be a cowboy clinic, roping clinics, sorting, barrels…. You name it, if it’s cowboy/western we can now do it. We will also have a 60’ x 65’ indoor arena, complete with a wheelchair ramp. So we can continue to operate all year round and accommodate all riders. And with our newest addition to the herd Petey the mini, we even started getting his personal area set up!

This is what Before the Last Call Inc. does. Participants build a relationship, trust and bond with our horses. One that allows them to lead and comfort the horses through “scary” obstacles. 100% of your donations go directly to providing this to our men and women in uniform (and their families) FREE of charge! Head over to the website www.beforethelastcall.com or contact us today to see how you can help today! #Beforethelastcall #fdrec #Mission22 #therapeutichorsemanship #therapyhorse #weareourbrotherskeeper #horseshealingheroes

This past weekend was the September gathering of the How to be a Cowboy series. After working over 100 cattle participants were taken on a ride around the Ruddman Ranch property! #Beforethelastcall #mission22 #fdrec #horseshealingheroes #weareourbrotherskeeper #howtobeacowboy #cowboyliving @highlight @followers

Here’s some of the rest of the answers we got. When does felt season start for you? #Beforethelastcall #mission22 #therapeutichorsemanship #feltseason #horseshealingheroes #weareourbrotherskeeper

Decided to have a little fun with some of the crew and ask when Felt season starts. We all know it’s that time of year in NY that we can get all 4 seasons in a day lol. So you better just keep both hats in the truck to be safe 🤣🤣 #Beforethelastcall #mission22 #weareourbrotherskeeper #horseshealingheroes #feltseason #horses #cowboyliving #therapeutichorsemanship

What’s better on a Friday night than sitting around a fire with good food and good company??? #Beforethelastcall #mission22 #salvatoressaloon #weareourbrotherskeeper
