Our Mission

Learn more about our non-profit program.

Moonrise Ridge Ranch preservationists are organized and incorporated for educational and charitable purposes.  More specifically, to
  • preserve the history of the western way of life
  • promote safe horsemanship
  • bring awareness of western history, including cowboy poetry, music and art
  • supervise rides and horse events to the general public and to educational institutions including museums, schools and libraries. 

To this end, the corporation shall, at all times, be operated exclusively for the purpose within the meaning of section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.  All funds, whether income or principle, and whether acquired by gift, contribution or otherwise, shall be denoted to said purpose. 

Moonrise Ridge Ranch provides a multi-phase model for the purpose of education and to bring a hands on approach to understanding the significance of western preservation through the living history of western heritage in a ranch setting.  We have many different elements: Cowboys & Indians, Spanish explorations, and early pioneer settlers, to name a few.  All demonstrations and presentations are interesting and geared for the target group's abilities.

Educating inner city youth, special education groups and others that can benefit from our project, is our goal.  We have designed a program that everyone can learn from, at any age.

We provide opportunities, from beginning levels through intermediate and advanced, where participants learn such things as the basic care and feeding of equine, bovine and other animals raised on the ranch.
