Our Mission
The Buffalo soldiers of Seattle are a Non profit community outreach program. That focuses on the teachings of History, Horsemanship and Outdoorsmanship. Our mission is to educate and reduce barriers facing our youth and community. Mental health is a crucial issue that needs to be addressed among teens and adults.
We believe with our horses, teachings of history and outdoor experiences we can make a change mentally and emotionally.
As we interact with communities and youth, Our Purpose is to inform and expand their horizons to show that life is far more than what is in front of us and create meaningful avenues and connections that change lives.
Our Goal is to be a positive change agent in the community. We welcome inclusion, fair equity, and advocate for diversity. We also support many causes and communities in the Northwest including the USO, GEM Program, and Renton School District to name a few.
We ignite the human spirit through horsemanship, historical preservation, and outdoor activities, while focusing on educating the community.
At our appearances we give free horseback rides to anyone. The kids love this! (So do the Adults). Its part of How We Connect. Often, it is an urban youth's first time interacting with a horse! it is a experience they never forget and is a catalyst for adventure and imagination. As Buffalo Soldiers, we embody the legacy that is the 9th/10th Cavalry and present a missing piece of the history puzzle for our audience.
The reason Why We Do It is simple. We love history, we love our horses, we love the youth and our audiences. In our appearances in Washington, and throughout the nation, we proudly represent the forgotten heroes of the American West and strive to represent them to the best of our abilities
The Buffalo Soldiers of Seattle is open and looking for new members. We meet twice a month. If you are interested please contact us, seattle10thcav@gmail.com for more details.
The Buffalo Soldiers have many Outings including trail rides through scenic areas including Mt. Rainier.
We work in the community in many capacities from school assemblies to teaming with law enforcement for First Night Out (community relations). Please Contact us to discuss how we may benefit each other.

Legends Ranch has hosted the Buffalo Soldiers of Seattle (BSoS) since 2010. The rolling hills and ample arena space provide plenty opportunity to teach horsemanship to youth, give first horse rides to small children and adults alike, and for the members of BSoS practice drills used in parades and appearances around the nation.
Nestled in the wooded plains of Pierce County, just outside Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Legends Horse Training has been quietly setting the standard in top quality horse training since 2009. Skilled in Natural Horsemanship, with a round pen and lighted arena on sight, effective riding can be done in any conditions.
Legends Ranch prides themselves in utilizing the most effective and humane training methods to have your horse in a showable mind and spirit. A properly trained horse in a happy horse, a happy horse is a proud horse owner.
