Halleck Creek Ranch Halleck Creek Ranch invites people with disabilities to live a “Life without barriers”

01/19/2026

“Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle.” - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) from “Letter from Birmingham Jail” written in April 1963

MLK Day reminds us that progress is built through care, action, and collective commitment. We’re proud to walk alongside a community dedicated to removing barriers and expanding access for all.

Wanting to escape to the countryside?

A sunny winter day in West Marin might inspire you to! We’re always looking for volunteers to support our adaptive riding programs.

You might just find yourself saying, “I get more out of my visits to Halleck Creek than I thought I would.” It’s meaningful work that fills your cup, brightens your day, and connects you with rad humans who are trying to do good.

Horses meet people where they are, without judgment, without labels, and without limits. 🐎🤍

This January, we’re sharing a few horse-themed reads that reflect resilience, inclusion, and the powerful connections at the heart of our disability community.

• The Horse Boy by Rupert Isaacson — a family’s journey exploring healing and communication through horses
• The Eighty-Dollar Champion by Elizabeth Letts — a true story of second chances and redefining ability
• Horses Never Lie by Mark Rashid — gentle lessons on listening, patience, and meeting others where they are
• Black Beauty by Anna Sewell — a timeless story reminding us of empathy, dignity, and advocacy
• Horse Brain, Human Brain by Janet Jones, PhD — an exploration of different ways horses and humans experience the world

These stories remind us that growth doesn’t come from fitting a mold, but from being seen, supported, and understood.

What horse stories or books have inspired you or your family?
Share your favorites in the comments, we’d love to build our community reading list together. 🤍

Recently, we said goodbye to our beloved Duke. 🤍
Losing him reminded us how complex and emotional quality-of-life and end-of-life decisions can be when caring for horses we love.

In that spirit, we invite our community to join Dr. Casbeer (from ) for a thoughtful vet talk on quality of life and end-of-life care for horses. Dr. Casbeer will share key considerations that help guide compassionate, informed decision-making for aging horses and our herd.

🗓 Thursday, Jan 15
⏰ 6:00–7:30 PM
📍 Zoom (recorded)

Thank You. 💗

Thanks to your generosity, Halleck Creek Ranch closed our year-end campaign with a record-breaking $164,000 raised for the Breaking Barriers Fund, exceeding our $100,000 goal and affirming the power of community in creating access, dignity, and belonging for children and adults with disabilities. Your gifts didn’t sit on the sidelines. They went immediately into action.

Because of you, we are:
🐴 Subsidizing the true cost of adaptive riding lessons so no rider is ever turned away due to financial barriers.
🐴 Supporting the instructors, equine specialists, and volunteers who move in sync each day to create safe, meaningful experiences.
🐴 Sustaining inclusive, individualized programs across both of our ranches, programs rooted in connection, trust, and community.

Every ride takes a village. And because of you, that village is strong.

Your support ensures that when a rider finds their balance, builds confidence, or experiences a long-awaited breakthrough, the door to that moment is always open, regardless of a family’s ability to pay. We are deeply grateful to be carrying this work forward with you and to be entering the year ahead with momentum, stability, and hope.

From all of us at Halleck Creek Ranch, our riders, families, staff, volunteers, and horses, thank you for being part of this remarkable community.

Is spring cleaning on your horizon? We’re currently on the lookout for tools to support much-needed improvements at RockRose Ranch. To help guide this work, we’ve refreshed our donation wishlist to reflect our most current needs.

We gladly accept gently used tools that may be collecting dust in your garage or shed. New items can be mailed directly to us, and used tools may be dropped off at RockRose Ranch. ‼️ One urgent need is a generator to power our well pump and water supply, which has become especially critical with the recent rains.

We’re eager to begin these improvement projects and are deeply grateful for our community’s support in helping us strengthen the infrastructure that keeps our programs running.

Did you know, horses have long appeared in winter and holiday storytelling as symbols of steadiness, strength, and care through the darkest season? 🐴✨

Across cultures and traditions, horses often show up as:
• Companions on long winter journeys
• Partners in work, travel, and survival
• Symbols of quiet strength, patience, and endurance
• Protectors associated with safe passage and provision

In parts of Germany, the Netherlands, and Scandinavia, folklore even tells of children leaving hay or carrots for St. Nicholas’s horse, a small gesture of gratitude for the animals believed to carry and protect travelers through winter.

Even in the stillness of the season, horses remind us of the power of showing up with consistency, care, and presence.

What holiday traditions do you have that involve horses?
