Welcome to Ricky’s Ranch Senior Horse and Wild Mustang Sanctuary!
Located in Okeechobee County, FL, we provide a safe, loving home for senior horses and Mustangs who would otherwise face neglect or worse. Our mission is to offer these incredible animals a peaceful, comfortable retirement, free from suffering simply because they’ve grown old.
Caring for our 5 senior horses and 2 burros is costly—specialized feed, hay, farrier care, and veterinary needs add up fast. With your support, we can expand our sanctuary, rescue more neglected horses, and even assist struggling horse owners with feed and care, keeping beloved animals in their homes.
Help us give these horses the golden years they deserve—please donate today!
Mission Statement
Ricky’s Ranch, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to giving senior horses a second chance in Okeechobee County, FL. Founded by Scott Chapman and Callie Harris of Scoop da Poo, LLC, our goal is to create a 10–20 acre sanctuary where neglected and relinquished senior horses can live out their golden years in peace.
Beyond rescue, our Hay-It-Forward program helps struggling horse owners with feed, hay, and compassionate end-of-life care. With community support, we’re building a haven of dignity and care for South Florida’s senior horses.
Join us in making this vision a reality—every donation brings hope and comfort to these deserving animals.
Hay It Forward Campaign
Ricky’s Ranch’s Hay It Forward campaign ensures no horse goes without essential care. We assist local horse owners on fixed incomes by providing hay, feed, and necessary veterinary and farrier services. More than just supplies, this initiative fosters a supportive community where horses stay healthy, happy, and in loving homes.
