Mercy Trails Ranch is a therapeutic family retreat center that ministers to children and families through farm and ranch environment and interactions, equine assisted activities and therapeutic riding lessons.

Scott and Josie Gwin founded Wild Horse Hope in 2006. Leaving behind comfortable jobs, home, friends, and lifestyle in the beautiful Rocky Mountains, they followed God to the northeastern plains of Colorado where a property was purchased with enough space to let horses and kids run.

In July of 2009, Wild Horse Hope became part of Mercy Ministries of Colorado with the hope of providing more opportunities for healing and growth, not only to kids and families in the US, but also overseas in Romania and the Philippines. 

Mercy Trails Ranch was chosen as the new name for the Ranch  because of the symbolism it provides. Mercy Trails Ranch now sits on 150 acres of western prairie 1 and a half hours from Denver.

They offer multi-day or overnight stays for kids, families, and groups of all ages, needs and abilities.
