Our mission is to “Enrich people’s lives through the use of nature, health, and horsemanship”
Hope Retreat Ranch is located on 37+ acres of land in Choctaw, OK. We are a place for healing and a place for families. Hope Retreat Ranch provides free Equine-Assisted Therapeutic Riding to children with disabilities and their families. Horseback riding for children with disabilities is recognized as one

of the more progressive forms of therapeutic recreation. The ability to control a horse as well as one’s own body inspires self-confidence, responsibility and teamwork. The Ranch also hosts an annual community event (attendance 500+) in April and allows other local organizations such as Sooner Success and Down Syndrome Association of Central Oklahoma (DSACO) to use our facilities to host their own events. Hope Retreat Ranch is also available for families interested in hosting a rural gathering. In addition to opening our doors to families in need, during the summer months we have students participate in our STEP Program (Student Transition Enrichment Program). The STEP program provides a temporary, tailored work opportunity for disadvantaged or at risk high school and college aged students to learn the basic requirements for meaningful employment. Hope Retreat Ranch is operated and maintained 100% by volunteers; all funds collected go directly to the operations of the ranch (animal feed and care, grounds work, electric bill, etc.) or towards a specific project.

🐴💬 A Quick Update from Hope Retreat Ranch 💬🐴

We’ve seen a few messages and comments asking why we haven’t been answering the phone — thank you for checking in and caring! It means more than you know!❤️

Right now, our leadership and volunteer base is much smaller than usual, and we are looking to grow! We are getting some new ideas for this year!

📬 The best way to reach us right now is by Facebook message, instagram direct message or by emailing [email protected]
That’s the fastest way to reach someone on our team, and we truly appreciate your patience as we keep things running and care for the horses every day.

That said… We are still looking for volunteers to help make the property look great to help us have more events and fundays available!🐎

New posts will be made soon keeping up with updates, volunteer opportunities, events, and just some fun pictures of the horses! 💛

🐴💬 A Quick Note from Hope Retreat Ranch 💬🐴

We’ve seen a few messages and comments asking why we haven’t been answering the phone — thank you for checking in and caring! ❤️

Right now, our leadership and volunteer base is much smaller than usual, and since most of us also work other jobs during the day, we aren’t always available to answer calls in real time.

📬 The best way to reach us right now is by Facebook message or by emailing [email protected]
That’s the fastest way to reach someone on our team, and we truly appreciate your patience as we keep things running and care for the horses every day.

That said… we could really use a few more helping hands this winter! ❄️🐎

We’re putting together a Winter Horse Feeding Team — a dependable group of volunteers who help ensure our herd is fed and cared for through the colder months.
Looking for those with an interest in horses and a willingness to learn. Training is provided, and even one day a week helps tremendously!

Perfect for:

Horse lovers who want more barn time

Families looking for meaningful volunteer experiences

Students, retirees, or anyone who wants to give back this winter

If this sounds like you (or someone you know), send us a Facebook message or email [email protected]
— we’d love to have you! 💛
