This is our Miracle.  She was Babe's filly and well worth the wait. She has beat all of the odds and made it.  So many of the kids are in love with her and God is using her story to help many young people.  We are so excited that she is here. 

FUN FACT: Miracle is the second of three generations on the farm.  She is the mom of Legacy, and she has an incredible story that you can read about on the Stories Page.  

Legacy is one of our younger horses and the clown of the herd. He had a rough start as a foal.  After he was born, his mom rejected him, meaning she refused to care for him. He was all but orphaned by her. We juggled how to care for him while still establishing healthy boundaries. Once he was old enough, he was able to hang out with one of our senior horses and learn very important horse behaviors. You see, when horses are orphaned, they miss out on really important social skills that their moms would have taught. If they don’t learn these skills, life can be really tough for them. Thankfully, we had a very patient and kind stand in horse “mom” to teach him. Legacy has been started under saddle, and he is in training to become one of our main riding horses.

FUN FACT : Legacy is a third generation we've had at the farm!  His mom is Miracle and his grandma is Babe. 

Deja is such a sweet girl.  She has a wonderful personality and not afraid of anything!  She is such a joy to ride and just the right size for our kids.  A wonderful family donated her to our program.  They wanted her to make a difference in kids' lives and she has become such wonderful part of our team.  

FUN FACT: Deja is excellent at being able to "mirror" kids' attitudes. 

CJ was donated to us from an amazing friend. Before she came to the ranch she was a show horse.  She spent a lot of time in the ring showing off all of what she knows.  Since she has been here, we have used all of her training to help youth meet new goals and levels of riding.  CJ is known to do anything for attention and loves to be used. 

Fun Fact: CJ can open most gates and locks.  She is also very good at untying things to get loose

Bo is our newest addition and youngest in our herd.  He came to us all of the way from Oklahoma.  He is only 2, so he is learning all about saddeling and having a rider.  Bo is super quiet, sweet, and gentle. We look forward to watching him grow and become a great horse for youth to work with in the future.

Fun Fact:   Boaz already has learned to do halterless leading.  This means that he will follow you around, turn, pivot, and flex his head without a halter or lead rope.

Gabe came to us from an increadible family that used him for trail riding. Gabe is our gentle giant and one of the kindest horses that you will ever meet.  Over the years he has carried youth as they rode, and has become their friend as they share the hurt and pain that their hearts have had.

Fun Fact:  Gabe loves selfies, he even smiles

Samson is our lap dog wanna-be. He's a sweetheart and quite the escape artist. When he came to us, he wasn't sure what boundaries were. He didn't understand that people had personal bubbles and might not want him standing over top of them. He can be very unsure of himself or what he needs to do in a situation as a result. Because of his lack of understanding, he craves structure and boundaries. He is an excellent teacher to our youth in this regard. He can show them what it looks like to establish new boundaries and have confidence in them. Samson is like a giant puppy, and he has one of the most kind and tender hearts.

FUN FACT : Because of his size, "Samson" is named after a man in the Bible who was known for his strength. 

Lytroo:  “to be redeemed”.  Our sweet LT came to us 2 years ago with Sheena and Sultana.  Her story has redemption written all over it. Her past has had a whole lot of loss, rejection, injury and pain.  When she first came here, she didn't trust, and because she was so insecure, she was affraid of everything.  With a lot of patience and time in training, she now trusts, has confidence, and is being used by youth.  She is a completely different horse now, and loving being a friend to kids.

Fun Face: LT will come running any time she hears Tami talk

Sultana came to us a couple of years ago with LT and Sheena.  She was training to be in drassage, but had a bad accident and couldn't show anymore.  Even though she can't do what she was training for, we are excited that here at the ranch she has a new purpose and is a partner to the youth that come here.

Fun Fact:  Sultana's nick name here is Salty

Clyde is a miniature horse. He came to us from a situation where he was neglected and left behind. When we got him, he didn’t trust people and hadn’t been taught even the basic human handling skills. After being here for 9 years, you would never know he came to us untrained. He is an old pro at handling and horsemanship. He has been used for many outings and petting zoos with us and he even knows how to pull a cart!  

Peppy is a mini horse with big horse ambitions.  She also is one that younger kids use to get to know how to be around horses safely. 

Laverne & Shirley are two bonded mini donkeys.  Both are very sweet and would spend all day with you if you pet them.  They get to hang out with our younger youth as they get to know how to be around horses safely.
