Are you operating out of the worlds limited perspective or are you living in and out of Gods unlimited perspective? Has someone said you are this or that? Or maybe you believed a comment like “you will starve to death being an artist” and because of that statement or one like it - you changed and went a different way in life when your heart and desire was to do that very thing? by hooves,” horses and the volunteers whose eternal perspective reflects love, patience and acceptance. I, like the others who volunteer or who come to ride have been blessed to have our perspective changed by our experiences at the ranch and the riding clinics. We are currently seeking sponsors for kids and volunteers to attend these horsemanship clinics, to help care for our horses, and the mission of the Ranch. Join us in our mission to change lives by changing perspectives... check us out today!
