The Leaning Post Ranch

The Leaning Post Ranch The Leaning Post Ranch has been assisting our community since 2001 with our gentle, intelligent animals providing Equine Therapy.
(24)

Our facility adheres to PATH standards for safety and high quality service. LPR is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization The dream of the LPR began in 1992 with one gang member and one horse. After several successes, the efficacy of the horse as a therapy tool took firm root in the Gersin's minds. As a riding instructor, Fran saw the effectiveness of equine therapy in the lives of children with ph

ysical, cognitive and emotional disabilities. The outreach of the Ranch program expanded to include children with varying disabilities and their families. Horseback riding develops self-awareness, builds self-confidence, improves concentration and increases self-discipline. Riding also strengthens and relaxes muscles, improves posture, balance and coordination, and increases joint mobility.

A little storm doesn't stop the ranch activity's! in fact it just goes into OVERDRIVE!

Praying for the Leaning Post Faimly to stay safe during this storm.

The horses always know when a storm is coming, so they are just a little spunky to get all their energy out before they bunker down till it's over.

Our very dear friend, Pastor and Pastor Emeritus for almost fifty years, Rev. Paul H. Welch, has passed away. The family has asked that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Leaning Post Ranch and/or The Tupelo Children’s Home. We have been asked how to donate to the Ranch. You can go to the Ranch web page, “theleaningpostranch.org”, click on “Donate” on the right hand side column of the Home Page, and under the paragraph titled Financial Contributions, click on “egivings”. Also, you can make checks payable to “The Leaning Post Ranch” and mail to: The Leaning Post Ranch, 4150 Cedar Springs Road, Molino, Florida, 32577. The Ranch is a registered 501-c-3 charity, so all donations are tax deductible.
We would like to thank the family of Rev. Welch
for this kind and generous thought and to remind them that they are in our prayers, always, but especially in this time of loss.

The Leaning Post Ranch's mission is to provide equine assisted activities and therapeutic riding to individuals with disabilities and at-risk youth in Northwest Florida. We offer health, hope, and healing through horses.

We are not doing Christmas in the Country this year. As much as we enjoyed doing it, our Board of Directors voted not to do it this year. It was meant to be a fund raiser for the Ranch, but we never made any money and it was a LOT of work. We’ll miss doing it.

What an outstanding afternoon. Today after Ryan's lesson, he helped another child with THEIR lesson. He actually was a sidewalker and held the leadline. This is a pretty BIG deal!
It seems like a lifetime ago when he was a beginning rider and needed this level of assistance!

The Leaning Post Ranch really needs some help right now. Please consider supporting a program that has helped so many people in so many ways. Ryan being one of them!
