About Us

Each person is created to live an abundant life in which they can thrive as individuals and in relationships with one another.

Abundant Life Ranch was created in 2010 when Doug and Betsy Cockrell felt compelled to help children develop these traits. Using their faith, joy, horses, property, and passion for the ranching lifestyle, they sought to impact the children in their community.

Since its humble beginnings in the Cockrell backyard, the Ranch’s programs have grown exponentially to impact more lives every year. Today the Ranch hosts people from all backgrounds and beliefs through individual sessions, ongoing group sessions, plus couple and family events.

Many of those individuals who visit the Ranch struggle to move past the challenges, or trauma, of their lives to develop and maintain healthy relationships.

Our program uses horses to teach important lessons of relational health based on the pillars of Communication, Trust, and Respect. These pillars are instilled during sessions, where participants find a safe place to play, learn, and grow together.

As guests learn and grow, they recognize they are uniquely created with a plan for their lives and for a purpose.
