Valerie Buck founded ACTT Naturally in 2013, after many years of repurposing off-track-Thoroughbreds. She worked 28 years in the Thoroughbred racing industry, and while she worked in top stables, sitting aboard some of the best horses in her generation, she also found value in horses no longer able to compete. Valerie uses the same patient touch she had for champions to retrain forgotten horses. She’s found success locating forever homes and useful careers for many horses. Valerie’s ongoing education in Natural Horsemanship creates well mannered, mentally and physically balanced horses ready for bright new futures.
ACTT Naturally readied and supplied horses to launch a local veterans program. It was here that Valerie steeled her determination to begin a program for a larger demographic of people in need. A program designed to help those who have suffered through tragic losses, major setbacks, large or small disappointments, or to overcome the challenges that visit every life sooner or later. She and her team help horses and humans heal together.
