“[My favorite part is] that my child can come to a safe space where the people love Jesus and the want to give hope and help to the hurting all while experiencing God’s creation. I love that he can learn to be responsible and see how much goes into taking care of another living thing and that sometimes facing your fears, like getting on a horse, can lead to fun and confidence. ”

“Being at Freedom Reigns has made me feel like a better version of myself. Getting to connect with people who have similar issues to me has made me feel not so alone and being able to talk about how I feel has honestly brought a weight off my shoulders I really didn’t even know I had.

"I learn something every time and I'm always amazed at how God uses my experiences at the ranch to relate to my own journey with him. Yes, there are moments of frustration in every place, but the ranch has always been a haven of joy and safety that I view as some of the best times of my life. It's impacted nearly every part of my life, and I can say without a doubt that I would not have the confidence and assurance that I do today if it weren't for Freedom Reigns. I'm always so grateful that God put this incredible place in my life- a place where I can come not only to be served, but to serve others as well. Getting outside and working with horses or just cleaning up around the ranch always leaves me with a sense of honest satisfaction that I was able to do something to help others that day. For me, that's more life-giving than all of my other activities. ”

"Thank you to the sponsors and donors who help keep such an amazing place so awesome. I'm thankful that they can make it possible for so many amazing things to happen. Without their help, I could've never met so many wonderful people in such a loving environment. The Ranch has encouraged me to be myself. All of the people I have met here at the Ranch have made me into who I am now."
