How To Help
Volunteer or Support – HELP US HELP OUR VETERANS

Getting Involved Makes a Difference
Services to our veterans and their families are FREE. This means we must continually raise funds for our operating budget. Horses must be fed, monitored and cared for 24/7, and they must get annual vaccinations. We also incur overhead expenses, ranch maintenance fees, staffing compensation and more.
Volunteer
Contact us about giving some time, helping around the Ranch. There are no time commitments or obligations. No experience necessary (we provide training). You just have to be 18 years or older.
Donate
Donations mean everything to us. You can support the herd, sponsor a vet, or make a general donation – funds, equipment, anything. Every dollar helps. Every penny makes a difference!

Veteran Sessions
A Little More About Your Donation
Blue Star Ranch provides 10 weeks of one-on-one sessions for each veteran. They are evaluated on the following 6 categories:
Each session is $120, totaling $1200 for the 10 week program. Upon Graduation, Quilts of Valor presents each graduate with a handmade Quilt and BSR gives them a Certification of Completion.
Sessions are closed-door, private sessions, with full doctor and patient privacy. Blue Star Ranch only pays the Therapist and Equine Specialist, no other volunteers are paid.
