"It is my honor to launch the Bony Pony Ranch Foundation with a mission that reflects the original spirit and vision of the Frank H. Ryan Foundation," said Dr. Faber, a resident of Costa Mesa, California, and a staff physician at the Amen Clinic in Costa Mesa. "Our name pays homage to the magical place he created for thousands of kids to explore and renew nestled in the mountains of Malibu under the Bony Pony ridge."
