So thankful that horses recieve such excellent care! Every 7 weeks our farrier, Benji McCowan, comes out to care for our horse's feet.

Did you know that horse's feet are made of the same material as our fingernails? And that hooves grow continuously at about 1 1/4 of an inch per month?

Our Horse Sponsorship Program is designed to help care for routine care like this. We currently have one horse of our six fully sponsored. If you'd like to learn more about the program or become a sponsor...message me or check out our website

My Mother's Day gift and future ministry herd member arrived today! Meet Rose...formerly Burrito. Rose was born in the morning on May 5th to a mama who had no milk. By the evening, she was surrendered to Hope's Legacy Equine Rescue under the amazing care of foster, Jamie H**p. She was quite weak and the first night was touch and go, but God has blessed Jamie with the ability to care for these fragile little babies and she is now a very spunky and bright little baby donkey. When she's a bit bigger, she will be joining the Risen Ridge Ministry herd. For now, she at the farm we live on so that we can keep a close eye on her. I have a feeling that Benny will be keeping the closest eye on her - lol! He absolutely adores her!
Welcome to the family, Rose! You have a beautiful calling ahead of you - for now, just enjoy growing up.

Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labour or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. ♥️🙌

There’s something powerful that happens when a person stands next to a horse.

Walls come down.
Hearts open.
And there is room for God to bring peace, healing, joy, and new life.

At Risen Ridge, our horses play a huge role in that process—but they can’t do it without your support.

Each one needs daily and routine care, and every dollar given through our Horse Sponsorship Program makes that possible.

When you sponsor a horse, you’re stepping into someone else’s story of hope, healing, and restoration. You are directly impacting the lives of the guests who interact with our horses in their ministry sessions.

This is our biggest expense as a ministry. Each horse costs us approximately $4,000 per year. We are not funded by huge grants or organizations. Everything we do is made possible by your generosity and desire to keep this work going.

Will you join us?

It is a tremendous blessing to share that Maple has a sponsor for 2026.

Chester, Eli, Dezi, Poncho, and Hazel still need sponsorship.

Here is a link to our web page about each of our horses. You can learn a little bit about them, see some photos, and watch a video about each horse (except Hazel who doesn't have a video just yet).

Let me know if you have any questions or if you would like to learn more about their stories!

Today we gathered at the barn to pray. We prayed for God to break chains and fill people with His love and peace. For safety, wisdom, and yielded hearts. We prayed special blessings over each horse. We prayed over the property and buildings. For our volunteers, for the families affiliated with the property, and for our guests. We anointed the sign, buildings, doorways and gates with oil. It was POWERFUL! Know that when you pull in the driveway of Risen Ridge Ministry that you are entering through Heavenly gates!

Psalm 24:7-10 "Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in."

Are you ready to take a little bit of time just for yourself? Maybe you are struggling with your past or feeling disconnected from God? Maybe you're in the middle of something really challenging in your life or simply feeling overwhelmed.

Have you ever wondered who God is and how He can help you with what you're going through?

Clear Path is a one-on-one experience, for older teens and adults, where you can slow down, breathe, and spend time with the One who created you. You don’t need any horse experience or God experience—just come as you are. Through interactions with the horse and your two session leaders, God can bring peace, healing, and direction into your life.

Ministry sessions are always offered free of charge! It will only cost you your time.

The Clear Path program is amazing for those who already know God, but, it is just as amazing for those of you who don't know Him yet!

I know what you're thinking - I've done too much for God to love me, my life is too messy for Him to love me, let me get my life together first, and then I'll think about spending time with the horses.

Guess what? He does NOT CARE where you are in your life right now, HE KNOWS everything you've done, everything you've been through, all the "bad" choices you have made and HE LOVES YOU ANYWAY! In fact, He rejoices that you have turned toward Him (even if it's just a glance) and He wants nothing more than to be with you all of the rest of the days of your life!

The bible tells us...

And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:38-39

For 2026, we are pleased to share that Maple has a sponsor! This is a TREMENDOUS blessing to Risen Ridge Ministry! Horse sponsorship allows the vital operations of Risen Ridge to continue, knowing that the horses will be cared for.

Risen Ridge Ministry is home to a total of 6 wonderful horses. This means, there are still opportunities to sponsor 5 of them! Horse sponsorship covers all costs associated with caring for our herd. Bedding, feed, hay, medications, vaccinations and routine veterinary care, an annual visit from the dentist, and any equipment they may need. It costs an average of $4,000 each year to care for each horse. To learn more about the program and how you can help by becoming a horse sponsor, please click the link below.

I hope you enjoy this video of Maple. She is such a wonderful personality in our herd. She enjoys being groomed and scratched, she lives for food (this is part of her story) and she adds just a touch of spicy independence that resonates with some of our guests.

Maple is one of the ministry horses for Risen Ridge Ministry. God uses her to help us share the healing love and hope of Jesus Christ with our guests. Please...
