Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch
Crystal Peaks is based in Oregon, United States. They do horse rescues, summer camps, and sessions with children doing different activities including working with horses.
CPYR says: "By inviting children and families to come as they are, the session leaders at Crystal Peaks work through a variety of activities or horses to encourage everyone toward hope. Our leaders tailor each one-on-one session to meet the needs of each individual child."
About Little Bear
Little Bear is a Clydesdale cross
buckskin colored gelding.
He was born in September of 2003, and arrived at CPYR a month later. He's the ranch's gentle giant standing at 16 hands.
This is what CPYR said about Little Bear:
"Little Bear came to the Ranch as a frightened 300-pound infant that was badly injured. Today, he still bears the scars of his journey through pain.
From his arrival at Crystal Peaks, Little Bear has grown into a 16-hand, 1,600-pound vehicle of healing. He has been an equine leader in playing horse games, trail rides, pack trips and parade participation. Few horses on the Ranch have had a greater impact on kids who’ve also experienced personal hardship."
