Welcome to Range Ranch, a retreat for veterans who've gone through traumatic experiences, a safe space that's veteran owned and operated by three brothers who took a leap of faith and turned their dream into reality.

"Home on the range, but also range, being military themed on the firing range, so we kind of combined that western country theme along with the military," said Markus Deas, co-owner, Range Ranch.

"Being out in nature. Getting away from the busy parts of life," said 2nd Lt. Ryan Deas, U.S. Marine Corps, a fellow co-owner.

"Humans carry a lot of emotion and trauma with them. There's people here that actually want to give back to those who have spent their life protecting our national security," said t. Col. Robert Moore, U.S. Marine Corps, fellow co-owner.

Veterans like Joe Bergman who joined the Army in 2011, but left in 2014, after complications from a tumor surgically removed from his groin.

"A couple years later, I was diagnosed with testicular cancer, went through four rounds of chemo," said Bergman.

After that, his hips collapsed, which required surgery. Physically, he says some days are better than others, but mentally he finds solace at the ranch.

"I love this. I love being out in the open. For me, this is where I feel okay. This is where I've always found myself to be the most comfortable," said Bergman.

Bergman also finds comfort in the National Equine Institute of Growth Through Healing or NEIGH, a non-traditional therapy program on the ranch using horses.

"Working through some of the issues veterans face, where they're using a non judgmental black and white animal that help them to heal some of the wounds that they carry," said Dawn Sameulson, founder and executive director of the National Equine Institute of Growth Through Healing.

Bergman says NEIGH helped keep his life in focus and make him a better husband and father.

"Not going down a path of depression, and horrible things. I actually kept my head about me and moved forward through it all," said Bergman.

He encourages other veterans to give the program a try, especially those who may be skeptical.

"I've been there, I know how that goes. Learning what I was carrying on my emotional coat, and not knowing about it and actually learning what it is and learning the process actually helped me put myself in better check," Bergman said.

Not only does he take part in the equine program, he now helps out with it as well.
