ISO…….(in search of😂)…….a very big hearted painter with a sprayer to spray our three remaining exterior walls and 6 exterior doors….:the old ladies are exhausted….the work parties are pooped…..our leaders are out of gas……..we have worn out most of our volunteers😂😂😂…..our precious volunteer plumber and electrician finish up this weekend….so all that is left is the exterior painting……and we are not beyond begging……(especially the old ladies!!😂)……and we will have it all taped off and ready for whoever the saint may be……..just don’t make us paint…anymore………please!🙏🙏

To every single amazing person at Redding Rodeo Association and their various groups……we cannot thank you enough for the wonderful and generous donation!!!! We are so blessed by you all! And volunteering with y’all during rodeo…truly one of our yearly highlights! Thank you so very much for ALL you do for our community!

Hank and Tommy would like to welcome you to our FIRST DAY OF SUMMER SESSIONS!!! Our dedicated volunteers arrived a few minutes early this morning to make sure everything went as smoothly as possible for both kiddos and horses on this first day back. We prayed, we played, and we enjoyed the (relatively) cool summer weather and the beautiful breeze as we worked through a session about sharing, about helping others, about lending our strengths, and about the wonderful way that God has designed us to lift each other up!

Hank, for his part, spent the whole morning waiting eagerly for HIS moment to climb on a horse - he was as excited as some of the kids! 😂

We all had the joy of seeing returning students (some back for the first time in several years), and several brand new kiddos, one of whom was there for her first horse ride ever (on Angel, of course, who her sister very graciously offered to share with her because “it’s her first time!”). ❤️

The horses were stellar - Bob and Gatsby, Cedar, Angel and Daisy, Gypsy, Twiggy, Tommy, and Gilead - even Prizm joined us to hang out and join a session with one of our longtime wranglers on board.

We are so very thankful for every opportunity for these amazing kids to visit the farm, to play and enjoy the horses, the swings, the dogs, and the community of friends and volunteers, and for the chance to share God’s love for each one of them through the simple action of showing up, listening, and helping them with their horse.

“We can make our plans,
but the Lord determines our steps.”
Proverbs 16:9

How is HE directing your steps this week….or this summer season…perhaps He is pulling on your heart to spend a couple of hours a week on a beautiful farm making a hurting child’s summer extra special….its not too late….summer sessions start tomorrow morning!!
