"It’s been another blazing hot week, but our faithful volunteers have shown up and braved the heat to care for our herd, ensure sessions continued and activities were catered to every human and horse need, and all the while prepping for the Hoedown this Saturday.

We really do have the best Volunteers on the planet!

Happy Labor Day weekend! We are so thankful for all of the incredible people who serve here as a labor of love alongside each other. 🤠"

"We continue our gratitude for the incredible sponsors that have generously supported the Hoedown and look forward to seeing everyone THIS SATURDAY!

We’d like to introduce you to today’s sponsor by saying to give her social media a follow for some entertaining reels that will give you a good laugh, especially with some real estate humor! She also has the 411 on a lot of the best hidden gems in Williamson and Maury counties: Alison Hillenbrand | Franklin and Nashville Tennessee Realtor

Alison wanted us to share this about her business and the Ranch. We are so grateful for her support!

I’m honored to be a sponsor of the Freedom Reigns Ranch Hoedown and to support an organization that is making such a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

As a local Realtor serving the Middle Tennessee community For 16 years, giving back and supporting organizations that strengthen our community is something that is very important to me. I’m grateful to be a small part of the incredible work happening at Freedom Reigns Ranch and can’t wait to celebrate with everyone at the Hoedown!"

"We are so excited for you to bid on these Silent Auction items!! All were donated for the purpose of raising funds for our mentorship Programs offered free-of-charge to children and youth who have experienced trauma.

The Silent Auction will be available to bid on at the event AND online! If you aren't able to make it to the Hoedown, but still want to bid, we will post a link on our website and socials for you to join in on the fun!"

"Want to take great care of your ride? Then you need Music City Window Tint . The only thing that outmatches the quality of their work is their heart to serve. Please help us say thank you by giving them a call if you’re in need of window tinting or paint protection for your vehicle.

Thank you so much for generously being a Blue Ribbon Sponsor, Music City Window Tint and Paint Protection! We are grateful for you. 🤠"

"HELP NEEDED! 🛠️

We’re looking for a few handy volunteers who can help us build a few run-ins before winter for the comfort of our horse herd as we’ve expanded our pasture space.

We have all of the materials- we’re just looking for the builder!

Can you help? Send us a message or an email!"

"It wouldn’t be a hoedown without the Men of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church grilling up the best burgers in town for everyone to enjoy! 🍔

Their grilling expertise is only eclipsed by their kindness and generosity and we are so grateful to have them a part of the Hoedown and so many other days out here at the Ranch.

We are so very grateful for their partnership!"

"The first donation for the hoedown arrived today hand-delivered by a precious young girl who worked hard to raise $82.16 over the course of several months. It’s going to help pay for the Winter Hay need for our beloved session herd.

Such a generous, pure-hearted gift! 💕"

"Our special thank you today goes to Save The Day Solutions. They’re port-o-potty superheroes (just see the image on the front of the potties to confirm)! And for this event they’re our superheroes for supporting the Ranch by donating the use of two nice and CLEAN units to use for the event!

Those of you that have had to rent port o potty’s know what a pain it can be: the unit arrives smelly, with graffiti, or just in bad repair… not so with Save The Day. You can always count on clean, almost-like-new, and safe units that are serviced and maintained without excuse and that’s why we love Save The Day Solutions!"

"We can’t wait for the HOEDOWN tomorrow!!!

Throughout the Ranch you’ll see some of these signs highlighting specific prayer points. When you see one, we’d invite you to pause and take a moment to pray for that specific thing. Prayer is one of the most important ways you can partner with us!"

"We’d like to say thank you to Sunbelt Rentals in Columbia for generously donating the use of light set for our parking area for the Hoedown tomorrow! They’re a great go-to for all the machinery you need to borrow but don’t want the trouble of owning and maintaining it. Be sure to give them a call the next time you need something as a way to help us say thank you for their generosity!

Thank you, Sunbelt Rentals!"
