"Our Founder and Executive Director had the privilege of getting to speak in 3 breakout sessions about Equine Stewardship in Equine-Assisted Programs at the International Ranch Ministry Conference this past weekend. One thing we are passionate about at Freedom Reigns Ranch is being excellent stewards of our horses and treating them as true ministry partners. It’s an area that can sometimes be unintentionally overlooked in programs that are focused on people. Therefore, we are passionate about sharing what we’ve learned about equine stewardship and giving people practical tools to help their organizations.Huge shoutout to Wings of Hope Ranch for putting on such an incredible conference year after year. It is an honor to attend and share!"

"We don’t have any magic words to say, just a simple ask with an actual need that we have to meet by Thursday.
Would you please consider giving to support our Winter Hay Fundraising need? The bill is due on Thursday and we cannot meet it without you.
If every person that followed our pages gave just one bale at $11 we would have all we need! Would you please put a bale in the barn today?
(Link in bio for how to give or right on this post via the donate button).
Thank you! 🐴💕"

Red Poppy Equine: "Thank you Freedom Reigns Ranch for trusting me with her. I just love her! This is what collaboration is all about.Eventually, she will be available for adoption through @volunteerequineadvocates "
Freedom Reigns Ranch: "You’ve done such a remarkable job with her. It’s amazing to have known where she came from and how long it simply took to get her to approach a fence where we were with feed, to where you have now taken her. You are exactly the person she needed to give her the time, patience, and to work through the dangerous behaviors that were no doubt from a life of things we can only imagine. She is going to be one special horse! She already is"
Thank you!!! We are SO much closer because of some extravagantly generous people and because SO many of you have jumped in sacrificially to add your bale to the barn.
And guess what? Those $11 and $22 gifts really do add up! 🙌
We still have $5,054 left to raise by TOMORROW before we write the check for our winter hay supply.
This is a deadline we absolutely have to meet. The hay we purchase now will provide our horses’ primary source of nutrition from October 1–April 30, helping keep them strong, healthy, and ready for the incredibly important jobs they do every day…pouring into the lives of our session kids.
So, if you’ve been thinking about giving, today is the day.
🌾 Add a bale to the barn for $11.
🌾 Add two for $22.
🌾 Or give whatever you can.
Every single bale matters. Every single gift gets us closer.
Please help us meet tomorrow’s deadline. We truly can’t do this without you. ❤️
Let’s fill that barn!

"THANK YOU!!!
YOU DID IT!!!
Honestly, we weren’t sure with how things originally looked. But we knew God was working and we knew faithful people were listening and through YOU, He has provided the funds needed for our Winter Hay supply for our horses!
We called our hay supplier this afternoon, wrote the check, and it will be in the mail tomorrow.
We can’t express our gratitude enough and on behalf of our beloved horse herd say a hearty and heart-felt “THANK YOU”!!!"

"If you’ve been to any of our events, you know just how incredible the Men of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church are. Not only do they have the best burgers, but bring all the joy in serving right along with them! They also so generously serve by grilling and bringing lunch for many of our special group session events each year on their own dime.
Their annual fundraiser is tomorrow and they’re selling a lot of really good meat to raise needed support for their ministry that not only serves Freedom Reigns Ranch, but so many others in the community as well.
Please consider heading down to support them on Saturday afternoon. If you come by, be sure to say hi to Goliath! He’s making a special appearance to show his support!

"When it finally rains signaling the end of a drought and the hottest September on record!!!
Droughts hit different when you depend on grass to feed livestock. This rain is truly an answered prayer! 🙌🏼"
