The Griffith Ranch & Training Stables is a western horse ranch dedicated to the preservation of traditional ranching and western riding practices. We are an open and welcoming community of ranchers and individuals interested in ranching culture.

Their mission is to train ranch horses and help people utilize traditional ranching practices to enhance the connection between horse and rider and keep working ranch horses in the modern world.

The Griffith Ranch is already leading the charge in mental health strengthening by helping first responders and personal returning to civilian life with their established Veterans Program.

Through this program and the hard work that ranch life requires to run successfully, participants learn to focus on trusting not only themselves, but placing their trust into an equine partner and ultimately, focus them on the bigger picture, enjoying and being successful in their life.

Through their partnership with us, they have graciously brought our officers the opportunity to work in a similar fashion with them on their ranch.

Blue Line’s goal is to help give new officers a solid start by getting their bodies ready to run the courses needed to join their chosen organization, but she doesn’t forget mental strength either though.

The Internal Arts teach us to tune into and access these greater natural forces, using them as our source of power, stamina and health.

By learning to develop the mind-body connection, you have the tools to take charge of your health and access innate, natural wisdom, leading to greater balance and harmony for your life as a whole.

The Internal Arts, or “soft technologies”, offered at their school include Aikido, Tai Chi, Chi Gong (Qigong) and Meditation. Each art, though sharing the same Life-Enhancing goals, is unique enough to appeal to different personalities and interests.

By enabling our officers to join in these programs, balance can be restored and a sense of accomplishment and general wellbeing.

As a self taught student of photography, theus has always had a fascination with microphotography. Pictures of salt crystals are not outside of his realm of interest. In the last decade, he has expanded his expertise to include the very convoluted subject of animals.

As a longtime supporter of correctional officers, it was a no brainer that theus would join ranks with CX Solid to become their official photographer. Snapping pictures where ever there is a picture to snap, you will find theus at most events with at least 1 camera hanging around his neck!

Unbridled Equines is an outdoor learning and wellness facility just east of Beaumont, AB where people transform personally and professionally by working alongside horses.

Haven has stepped forward to offer a unique and fun way to healing. Art therapy is offered to CX who have experienced trauma and/or are finding it difficult to cope.
