Every day, individuals with differing abilities face challenges that can limit their confidence, connection, and sense of belonging. At Affinity Ranch, horses help change that.
Through adaptive horsemanship, equine-assisted therapy, and inclusive wellness programs, children, adults, and veterans discover new strength and self-awareness in a setting built on compassion, acceptance, and community.
Serving more than 325 participants each year and with over 1,100 individuals on our waitlist, Affinity Ranch is committed to expanding access so no one is left waiting for their chance to heal, grow, and thrive.
Your support makes these Unbridled Possibilities a reality by feeding our herd, funding sessions, and opening doors to life-changing experiences.

Why Your Support Matters
Thanks to your support, children, adults, and veterans at Affinity Ranch are finding new strength, confidence, and connection through equine-assisted therapy, adaptive horsemanship, and inclusive wellness programs. Our herd works tirelessly to support riders of all abilities, and the need continues to grow.
Each session builds more than just physical skills; it fosters trust, emotional regulation, and a sense of belonging. From the first moment a participant connects with a horse, transformation begins.
We currently have a growing waitlist of individuals eager to begin their journey, each one hoping for the chance to experience the healing connection between humans and horses. Your support helps us expand capacity, care for our herd, and open the gates to more Unbridled Possibilities.

Affinity Ranch enriches our community through connection and inclusion.
We provide equine-assisted services for children and adults with developmental, physical, social, and emotional needs. Our programs include adaptive horsemanship, psychotherapy with equine and small animal assistance, physical therapy with equine movement, recreational workshops, supported employment, and pre-vocational training.
At Affinity Ranch, lives are changed through working with horses — whether in the saddle or on the ground, riding, grooming, or learning how horses respond to human emotions. The benefits of these experiences extend far beyond the barn, inspiring growth in confidence, communication, and independence that carries into everyday life.
Our Story
Affinity Ranch was formed through the partnership of two long-standing Colorado nonprofits: Promise Ranch (est. 2008) and Praying Hands Ranch (est. 1987). Both shared a deep commitment to improving lives through equine-assisted programs, community inclusion, and compassionate care.
In 2021, the organizations joined forces to expand their collective impact and better serve individuals with differing abilities across Douglas County and beyond. Together, they became Affinity Ranch — a unified community where people and animals connect, learn, and heal side by side.
Today, our 37-acre ranch in Parker provides a forever home for our herd of therapy horses and a welcoming space for children, adults, and veterans to grow in confidence, independence, and belonging. Supported by a dedicated team of staff and volunteers, Affinity Ranch continues to carry forward the shared legacy of Promise Ranch and Praying Hands Ranch: enriching lives through connection, compassion, and Unbridled Possibilities.
