A Warm Welcome

Remember these familiar faces? We are thrilled to welcome back Wayne and Bonnie Warren to the Ranch Cottage starting in January. Though we will miss Allie as she moves off property, we are excited to have Wayne back in the role of our Resident Caretaker watching over things at Hearts and Horses. They are such an amazing asset to our team! Welcome back Wayne and Bonnie!

Studly New Ranch Truck!

A big thanks to Martin Harders who donated his beloved truck to Hearts and Horses. We are so appreciative to finally have a truck on the property and have been putting it to great use hauling shavings from our hay barn to the stalls. Our equine team has even been using it during our extreme cold mornings and evenings to feed with so they can stay warmer! Woo Hoo - thanks Martin!!!

Have you had a life changing experience at Hearts & Horses?

We are looking for heart-warming stories to use in our marketing efforts, grant requests, and for "Hearts, Horses, & Hope" (a book by past Executive Director, Dori Eppstein-Ransom). You can remain anonymous or not; the choice is yours. Either way, your stories will help others learn about the miracles that take place out here every day.

Don't think you have to be a rider for your story to matter. Volunteer, staff, and donor stories can be just as impactful. If you are a volunteer, rider, or staff member (past or present), tell us your story.

It's easy. Just go to our website to share your life changing memory.
