Wonder Wood Ranch

At Wonder Wood Ranch, we bring hope and healing to youth ​through therapeutic animals in a safe environment. Wonder Wood Ranch, a 501(c)3 charitable organization located in Prunedale, California, serves foster, high-trauma, low income, underprivileged, gang-impacted, and/or homeless kids and youth from high crime, at risk areas of Monterey County. Kids learn about horses and ride, usually for the first time in their lives. The look on a kid’s face when he first sits on a horse and realizes there can be more to life than gangs, drugs, and desperation is amazing! From atop a horse, kids find a new perspective, a better perspective, on life.
