Covered Wagon Ranch

After years of just an idea discussed around the Covered Wagon Ranch dinner table, Forever After All became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit! I co-founded Forever After All with Kurt, to fill a critical gap in the equine industry: when horses can no longer work, many ranches and programs lack the resources to keep them, putting these horses at risk. Through a sanctuary model, partnerships, and education, we are committed to ensuring that horse retirement is not temporary, conditional, or at risk but instead filled with dignity, stability, and lifelong care.

Give Big Gallatin Valley is our community’s 24-hour giving initiative, bringing people together to support the nonprofits that make this area of the world so special. This year, every gift is 100% fee-free, meaning every dollar you give goes directly to the organizations you care about.

From April 30 through May 1, I’m inviting you to be part of this incredible tradition by supporting something deeply personal to the Covered Wagon Ranch and to us, Forever After All.
Over the next 24 hours, you have the opportunity to help us build that future.

Your donation—no matter the size—directly supports the care, land, feed, and long-term security these horses deserve.

If this mission speaks to you, we would be so grateful for your support.

Together, we can change what retirement looks like for the horses who have given us everything.

With gratitude,
Melissa Puckett
Founder, Forever After All
