"In a week that has felt so heavy, we are grateful for this peaceful, joy-filled Ranch to come together and to enjoy the essence of God’s beautiful creation."
"This felt like an appropriate quote to share this week and is a sentiment we all share here. We are so grateful for this beautiful sanctuary where God brings so much peace to so many hearts.
“A barn is a sanctuary in an unsettled world, a sheltered place where life’s true priorities are clear. When you take a step back, it’s not just about horses – its about love, life, and learning. We honor our horses for their brave hearts, courage, and willingness to give. Indeed, horses have the hearts of warriors and often carry us into and out fields of personal battles. Those who know them understand how fully a horse can hold a human heart.”
- Lauren Davis Barker"
