Following an exclusive screening of “One Soldier,
One Horse,” the first story of a soldier to go through the Warrior Ranch
Foundation program at Stony Brook University, Legislator Steven J. Flotteron
was fortunate to be able to get up close with one of the horses assisted by Trainer
Tony Simonetti.
The
Foundation was established as a not-for-profit 501 © organization in 2016. It
was established in the hearts and minds of its founder Eileen Shanahan long
before that. Their passion for horses, love of country, and appreciation of our
nation’s veterans were combined to bring forth this unique organization
designed to help veterans and rescue horses.
In
the past, Warrior Ranch Foundation has helped more than 20 Veterans/First
Responders and saved two equine lives through interaction, enrichment and
family day programs with the horses. Services are provided at no cost to Veterans,
first responders and their families.
In
order to grow and continue this unique and valued program, Warrior Ranch
Foundation needs community support. Visit info@warriorranchfoundation.org
