Healing, Growth & Connection Through Horses
At Gateway Meadows, we help veterans and first responders find healing and growth through equine-assisted services.
Your participation in other services such as organizational workshops has another purpose: helping us provide free equine-assisted services to veterans and first responders.

Our Purpose at Gateway Meadows
Our Mission
Gateway Meadows provides equine-assisted therapeutic experiences at no cost to Veterans, First Responders, and their support networks, in a peaceful space to help them navigate life’s stresses and foster meaningful connection, healing, and resilience.
Although Gateway Meadows has other programs, serving any veteran or first responder individually and in group settings remains the top priority. We strive to offer services free of charge to accommodate any veteran or first responder without discrimination. Funding from other programs and donations helps to make this possible.
We are proud to be a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.
Organizations & Individuals
Coaching and organizational development to strengthen teams and improve workplace culture. These services support veteran services and first responders.
Veterans and First Responders
Come as you are. Gateway Meadows offers veterans and first responders a peaceful, supportive place to reconnect, build resilience, and experience the healing power of horses and community.
At the heart of our work are veterans and first responders and the organizations that help support our mission. Through organizational programs, we create meaningful learning experiences while helping make our equine-assisted services available to veterans and first responders free of charge.
Real Stories. Real Change.
After a few months, we are now seeing a huge difference in school, and at home. He LOVED going to “help his friend Biscuit,” which in turn helped him!
Brittany, Spouse of Veteran
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.

Here is a video peak of our services!
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.
