Our Program;How we play with horses!











Each child starts out by doing some kind of "chore". Most of the time it is grooming and feeding, and sometimes it's cleaning up manure. Whatever the chore it is a time to communicate with one another and a "get to know" time.
Each game we play is another way to present how the horse relates to us and ultimately how we build relationships with one another and with Jesus. Some relationships hurt us and we hurt others. How do we handle these things? Through building our relationship with Christ.
Every day is a new day to change and ask God for change in our own lives. He alone can make that change in us and in others. Surprising, that gets to kids. Also the understanding that sin is sin. No sin is greater then another to God. We may think we are good, but "we all fall short of His glory" Romans 3:23. This causes much discussion naming big sins, and ones we think are no big deal but are to God. It is such a precious time with these children and a privilege we are honored to be a part of. The children enjoy talking, asking questions, and just plane having fun on the ranch. Relationships...they are key to our lives and what Jesus expects us to do.
In Christ Jesus, enjoying the RIDE home!
