Jesus went to the cross out of His love for YOU. It was a rescue mission…the wages of sin is death and we have no power on our own to save ourselves. His shed blood on the cross purchased our salvation from sin. Our response? If we choose to believe that Jesus died and rose from the grave and ac

We trust Weatherbeeta for the unbeatable reliability their blankets have when it comes to weather protection. Our new blankets held up just as well as our old ones in 30 hours of relentless freezing rain and sleet and kept each of our beloved herd warm and dry.

Knowing kids have a safe space waiting for them, however they show up, makes all the difference! Equine-Assisted Mentorship and Ministry is what we do. Simply put, it’s “igniting hope, with the he
