At Rising Hope Rescue Ranch, rescued horses help children and families rediscover trust, confidence, connection, and hope.
Some of the kids who come to us:
- Struggle with anxiety or anger
- Have experienced trauma or instability
- Feel unseen, unheard, or unsure of themselves
And some of the horses who partner in their healing:
- Came from neglect
- Were discarded after racing careers
- Had lost trust in people
On the ranch, both get a second chance.
But they don’t get it without you..
What Your Gift Makes Possible
When you give, you help us:
Rescue horses and retrain them as safe, steady partners in healing.
Reach children through one-on-one, trauma-informed mentoring that builds trust, confidence, and resilience.
Restore families by creating space for connection, shared growth, and spiritual encouragement.
Your generosity turns a pasture into a place of purpose.

Here’s what your gift can do:
- $35 – Helps feed and care for a rescued horse for a week
- $75 – Covers supplies and materials for mentoring sessions
- $150 – Sponsors a full equine-assisted session for one child
- $300 – Supports a family restoration session
- Any amount – Keeps the barn lights on and the gates open
Every dollar becomes hay, mentoring time, prayer, and presence.
First
You Give
One-time or monthly.
Next
We Steward It Carefully
Caring for horses and mentoring families.
Then
Restoration Happens
And we share the stories with you.
