RUNNIN’ FREE RANCH exists to provide trauma-focused equine-assisted counseling to help North Texas individuals and families embark on a transformative journey toward life, hope, and freedom.
Amy Dojahn, co-founder of Runnin’ Free Ranch has had a passion to help people ever since she was a young child. At age 4 she was diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and was not able to walk after the age of 10. But God knew the plans He had for her and horses were a part of that plan. In 1994 she became a licensed professional counselor and met the love of her life, Ken (DJ) Dojahn in 1999. They married in 2003. DJ had a huge servant’s heart and he knew he wanted to help others in whatever way God wanted him to. Since then God has been at work uniting their hearts and providing the way for them to work together helping veterans, those with special needs, at-risk youth and their families through equine assisted counseling/activities. DJ and Amy have been called to offer nontraditional equine assisted counseling at no to low cost. Their desire is to offer freedom to all removing as many obstacles as possible. In 2015 this vision became a reality with Runnin Free Ranch being birthed and becoming a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

"Such wonderful people have helped my children and family when we needed help the most we had no insurance when we moved here and therefore could not afford counseling so they have been a blessing in our family. "

“As a Navy veteran, I struggled daily with rage, stress, a low self-regard and a lack of empathy before going to the ranch. My interpersonal relationships suffered as well. My relationship with Sevin (therapy horse) has helped me let go of control and of the shame of past mistakes that I’ve carried for years. I am forever grateful to the Runnin’ Free Ranch for the treatment I have received!”
