Our Story

 “Founded in 2022, Lighthouse Ranch was born out of a passion for equine therapy and a desire to make a difference in people's lives. Our founder, Gretchen Huddleston and Alexandria Jones, recognized the profound impact horses can have on mental health and well-being and sought to create a program that combines therapeutic techniques with equine interactions. Since then, we have helped countless individuals find healing and hope through our unique approach.”
