Horse Ministry

Over the years, in working with children, we have had the honor and privilege of ministering to quite a few precious children whose hard circumstances had created within each of them such internal difficulties as severe fear, introversion, anger, insignificance, distrust, refusal to thrive, and even the inability to effectively communicate.

When given the opportunity to minister to each of these needs and knowing the joy that we had experienced in our own lives for years in working with horses, it only made since to join the two together. In each scenario, we witnessed as each, and every child began to grow in all of the character that comes with the responsibilities and purpose of caring for these gentle giants. They soon took on a newness of life, a new excitement. They began to trust again. They began to hope again. They began to abandon their anger and to heal from their deep hurts and fears. And most importantly, they began to love and to be loved again, as we ministered the love of Jesus to each one, through the conduit of riding and caring for horses. Over time, the fruit of our labor and the glory of God had become evident to us, as the parents or guardians of these newly invigorated children often return with warm handshakes and hugs full of gratitude with statements like, “I want to thank you! What you have done with my child has changed their life". These are the redemption stories we live for, and the kind of testimonies that create vision and purpose in our ministry!
