At Pinnacle Ranch Horses Help People Deal With Problems

Source: Tricities.com

A different kind of business in Kingsport is helping people deal with their problems and learn about themselves at the same time. Pinnacle Ranch allows people of all ages and every walk of life to interact with horses. The ranch owners believe that horses are mirror images of the people they interact with and that gives humans a rare chance to observe their own behavior. The Pinnacle Ranch has helped autistic children, war veterans and even office workers learn valuable communication skills and the self confidence to cope with life issues.


The Kingsport Area Chamber of Commerce’s Office of Small Business Development and Entrepreneurship (KOSBE) recognized Pinnacle Ranch as one of the best new businesses started in the past two years.
