Need something to brighten your day? Check out these two riders sporting their matching USA shirts! They are two of the most fun-loving riders we have. As they represent Rafter 7C Ranch and their country, our greatest prayer for them as they grow, and for each of our riders, is that they represent Jesus Christ well. As believers we are all ambassadors for Christ, the truth of God’s Word, and the hope we have in Him. Be the best ambassador you can be today!

“Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, since God is making his appeal through us. We plead on Christ’s behalf, “Be reconciled to God.””
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5‬:‭20‬ ‭CSB‬‬

Happy birthday, Ivy! What a great year it has been growing and learning so much not only about showing and horsemanship but how to grow closer to Christ and serve Him in all you do. We are so proud of you. Enjoy today! You are so blessed.

“Satisfy us in the morning with your faithful love so that we may shout with joy and be glad all our days.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭90‬:‭14‬ ‭CSB‬‬

While the barn is coming along, it is encouraging to know that God’s faithful love does not rely on things of this world. He is faithful all the time!

1. Be satisfied with His faithful love.
2. Shout with joy today (even if it feels weird)!
3. Be glad! God did this and He is good!

Sometimes you need a fresh clean slate to evaluate where you are in your walk with Christ and therefore your life.

It took a rain storm to sweep away the hoofprints in this arena - the markings of a lot of busy feet and busy riders. It’s easy to feel good about yourself when you can’t really see where your tracks have been taking you. When they are blended in with the rest of the world.

But when God washes away everything that has been hindering you, then you can truly see what your tracks look like. Daisy’s were really nice and balanced today, but they haven’t always been that way. It takes a lot of work to step up and step out, to allow your weaknesses to be revealed and God to be your strength.

These circles have been a long time coming. God did this! We will keep riding for Him.

Our goal as parents should always be first and foremost to raise up children who desire to serve God with their whole hearts. When that happens, God overflows through them and into the world in such a way that it is bigger and better than we ever imagined for them.

This morning the call went out that Maple had been injured (wish horses could talk to tell us how). The instant response from these two to drop what they were doing and jump into action in a tense and touchy situation was an exhibition of God working in and through them. No fussing, whining, complaining - just boots on the ground hands in action hearts overflowing with care for the horse.

God did this!

We are also so thankful for Harney Veterinary Services, LLC for coming out so quickly after the girls got Maple to the barn to make sure Maple is able to make a full recovery. Blessed to serve alongside fellow believers in action.

While we continue construction of our new barn and prepare for the upcoming wedding of our daughter, we realize we need to postpone the fall Homeschool Equine Science and History Class. We plan to resume in January 2027 for the spring semester. Keep an eye out as we announce updates in the future.
