The Flying Horse Foundation serves at-risk youth and families who are experiencing trauma and/or mental health challenges at no cost.
Youth mental health needs are rising, and too many families are struggling in silence with grief, anxiety, depression, and social isolation. Our facilitators provide trauma-informed experiences with horses that builds connection, awareness, resilience, empathy, and self-regulation, equipping participants with tools to navigate life’s challenges through motivating equine interactions.
You can be a creator of hope in your community! Every gift helps this program expand into new locations, reaching those without access and offering welcoming spaces that enhance futures.
During Mental Health Awareness Month, join us in this movement to impact youth and families through equine-assisted services that nurture the worth of every life.

We love that our granddaughters are enjoying and finding healing through your horse therapy!
I am super grateful for the positive impact this program has had in my daughter’s life. I think it is an amazing program.
We are the legal guardians of a youth who has experienced profound hardship, including abuse and homelessness. Today, that same young person is finding healing, safety, and hope through the programs at the Flying Horse Ranch in Larkspur, Colorado.
Words feel insufficient to capture the depth of our gratitude. The compassion, structure, and care provided by this organization have made a tangible difference in a life that truly needed it. We have witnessed moments of joy, trust, and resilience that once seemed out of reach.
To the staff, volunteers, and donors who make this work possible—thank you. Your generosity does not simply fund programs; it restores dignity, creates stability, and offers a future where one once seemed uncertain.
We give this donation with sincere appreciation and with the hope that your work continues to reach and transform the lives of other children in need.
We love the Flying Horse Foundation. The Ranch has been an incredible place for my son for the last 3 years.

For Big John! The sweetest companion ever!
I have seen amazing things happen when working with horses. So good for mental health!
As our children continue to unpack the unwanted change in their lives, this has been a place of calm and care and they look forward to it so much. Thank you to all the staff and donors and horses for nurturing a place where brokenness is not something to fear or feel shame about.
Incredibly grateful for the community my son has found within the foundation.

It is a joy to be able to see the impact horses make in the lives of our participants daily. Watching participants arrive in one state and then, when working with a horse, witnessing the change in the participants from dysregulated to regulated or from withdrawn to engaged and smiling is so rewarding. I am proud of the work we do and our team (both human and equine) at the Flying Horse Foundation.
Investing in healing, hope, and connection through the power of horses.
The impact of Flying Horse on the lives of at-risk youth is incredible. I have personally witness the change that occurs when young people connect with horses, which makes a way for connection with people.
