Drage 2nd Chance Ranch is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) dedicated to giving second chances—both to horses in need and to people seeking healing, growth, and meaningful connection. Founded by the Drage family, the ranch provides a safe and welcoming space where rescue leads to renewal, and where the bond between horse and human can transform lives.
Through a variety of engaging and purposeful programs, the ranch funds its mission while serving the community. Offerings include year-round horseback riding lessons for children and adults, scenic guided trail rides, birthday parties, and special events featuring horses. Families can also enjoy unique experiences such as overnight horse camping adventures, summer riding camps, and customized programs that build confidence, responsibility, and joy through horsemanship.
Beyond recreation, Drage 2nd Chance Ranch creates pathways for healing and empowerment. Programs like Work 2 Ride and Riding Roots provide opportunities for underprivileged youth, individuals in recovery, and those facing loneliness, depression, or life transitions. The ranch is also a proud partner with homeschool families, offering hands-on, educational horsemanship experiences often covered by scholarships and education programs.
At its heart, Drage 2nd Chance Ranch believes every horse, every person, and every family deserves a second chance. Rooted in faith, compassion, and community, the ranch invites you to ride, learn, heal, and discover the power of connection. Every visit, lesson, or donation helps rescue horses, strengthen lives, and build unforgettable memories that last a lifetime.
