good to help others. I choose not to be a victim of the bad experiences. For my first several years starting out on my own journey. I lived my life as a victim I didn’t even realize it, until several years later. I thank God he got me out of that darkness and gave me knowledge to live through his light. You see we all have a choice. You get to decide. Do you want to live in the shadows of the dark memories or do you want to live your life with the promised future that God provides? I choose to follow God’s plan, his is always better. In Psalms 16:6 The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance. I know eventually I will see a beyond belief inheritance. Living Life Activities are just beginning. We have had a slow start this spring. The rain has delayed activity. We do not have an indoor arena just a very small outdoor that allows us to work. The small 3 stall barn has been flooded, stalls, paddocks everything is mud and yuck! We spend a lot of time grooming, removing mud off everyone, its hard work on those little arms and hands we take turns and take breaks for each other. Building on our teamwork skills.

Olivia’s first Lesson on Alex they both were excellent!

We have a new member to our team his name is Alex! He is a beautiful Sorrel/Overo Quarter Horse and he loves children. He is a sweet boy and has been doing great with his little cargo. We fell in love immediately. Alex was donated by Amanda Barnes. She was an answer to our prayers and we were an answer to her prayers. God brought us together, we are so excited about our new friendship and can’t wait to see where he takes us on our new road we are traveling.

Benefit Sale!!!

Living Life Ranch had our first Fundraiser, we held it at the Johnson County Fair Grounds we had a great turnout. We had an LLR Benefit Garage Sale in the red

barn. It worked perfectly! Included with all the wonderful donated items, we sold smoked BBQ Pulled Pork sandwich meal and we provided horse rides with Storm and Alex. We had great helpers, I loved the volunteers spirit such great hearts for serving others. Thank you to all of you that assisted with this day! The funds raised from the Sale and New Life Community Church donated to help us cover costs of the rental and

food. All of this will help us purchase hay and grain to keep our horses fed and healthy. God Blessed us in so many ways this day, we met new children and parents that want to come and visit Storm, Alex and the rest of us this summer! Pictures: Kara , Vega, Storm and Alex did a great job helping Living Life Ranch provide a horse experience to the children.
