Whispering Ponies Ranch is a subsidiary of SkyWatch TV, a non-profit 501 C 3 organization that employs services with miniature horse assisted activities to help bring positive mental, physical, emotional, and restorative benefits primarily to children of abuse.
Every year, more than 3.2 million children in America are sex-trafficked, abused, abandoned, or neglected. One in seven Americans are sexually abused as children. Tragically, 1,500 to 2,000 children die each year at the hands of their caretakers. And the remainder are sadly disregarded or experience a combination of these abuses.
But there is hope for many of these victims through the partnership that Whispering Ponies Ranch (WPR) holds with YOU and the Royal Family Kids Camps (RFKC) and Teen Reach Adventure Camps (TRAC) organizations. Since 1985, RFKC has been offering week-long specialized restoration camps and follow-up mentoring specifically designed to restore children of abuse who have become wards of the state. In the past, some kids could not benefit from these special services due to the cost-preventative nature of per-child campgrounds’ expenses. But At Whispering Ponies Ranch, (WPR), ALL AMENITIES—from food services and lodging to expert recreational staff—ARE PROVIDED AT NO COST, which means no child ever has to be turned away. We can only do this because of continued support from generous people like you, (the best people on earth!) who partner directly with WPR’s healing ministry by contributing to the operating and maintenance costs of the retreat facility which includes the care of these life-changing therapeutic horses and other animals—their foods, veterinary needs, and more.
The therapeutic activities used during specialized youth camps are designed to help hurting youth rebuild trust and feel the unconditional love they deserve. In addition to animal activities, our handlers use elements such as climbing walls, zipline, fishing, and other amenities to nurture abused children through modeling and teaching appropriate social behaviors so that they can begin regaining confidence in themselves and the world around them. This process is often slow and follow-up mentoring is often required over many years.
