About Us
Founder
Through the different phases in life, Robin Fitzgerald has always had a horse to turn to and experience a peace that only they can bring in such a unique way. God's beautiful creation speaks and declares His goodness and kindness, thru every season of life. Her vast experience with horses, turned into a passion that became a dream God vividly dropped into Robin's heart. 2nd Chance Youth Ranch was established in 2010, and it exists to provide wonderful opportunities for youth, families, and the surrounding communities to learn, grow, and heal in the company of horses and the power of God's perfect love! Because everyone in life deserves a second chance.
