Hope Ranch Ministries

We partnered with ronald mcdonald house charities to host some of their families once a month to provide a place to "get away from it all and join us for a day of peace and relaxation as we share our beautiful and loving horses with them. Ronald mcdonald house provides a temporary home-away-from-home that serves and sustains families of children receiving treatment at area hospitals.hope Ranch offered free rides for two or three hours once a month with our volunteers help. We also had a fire pit and s'mores for the families to enjoy after their experience at Hope ranch.hosted different people at the ranch:-exchange students from europe have visited Hope Ranch for four week increments.-moms struggling with teenagers have sought refuge while learning about boundaries and being assertive with the horses. This helps them create healthy boundaries with their children.-young teenage girls that come to Hope Ranch are sometimes so introverted that they don't know how to be assertive and be a leader. By working with the horses, they learn about themselves, about safe boundaries with the horses, becoming a leader to the horse, and volunteering and helping others that also come to Hope ranch.-hosted sunridge assisted living and memory care for a day out to the Ranch to be outside and also be with the horses animals rescued:- sonador or sonya for short (horse)- max (german shepherd)projects completed or in progress:- fans in the arena; helps cool down the arena during the hot summer months so it can be utilized all throughout the day- barn; building process started in the fall of 2018volunteer trip moabwe took a trip to moab in april 2018 with a lot of our volunteers.
