Kathy is more than dedicated to the welfare of each veteran coming to her “ranch” for healing. Her love for her horses extends freely to each individual and his or her needs.
Terry, wife of a Vietnam veteran
Gateway meadows was a very positive and rewarding experience that allowed me to process and work through the struggles of PTSD from the Iraq war where I served as a infantryman and every day life that followed since coming home.
