Introductions

I’m Zachary McClure.  I was the first soldier to be at Second Chance Ranch.  And I probably wouldn’t have ever walked into that place, but I have a sister who is a royal pain and loves me and wouldn’t let me stay in my funk.

I was Army.  Cavalry.  Of course, I grew up on a ranch and horses were in my blood.  I also did some rodeoing.  Well, I thought I’d never ride again after I lost my right leg below the knee when I was in Iraq.  I remember having that ‘feeling’ when we came across the car on the side of the road.  We were withdrawing when the world exploded.  The next thing I knew, I woke up in Walter Reed without part of my right leg.  I thought it was the end of the world, but God had a different plan for my life.  And thanks to my pushy sister and a driven ex-medic, I’ve been given a new direction in my  life.

I hope you’ll read our story and join us on our journey.
