💬 Finder's Message: "This sweet boy is so happy and smart. He likes to ride in the car. We try taking him around the neighborhood in the car to find his home. No luck so far hoping this post will be found by his owners. If not he will have to go to the animal shelter. Unless someone would like to be his forever companion. We have dogs already."

THANKFUL THURSDAY at RHF! We had five of our kids and young adults in the Horse Show today. They all did a great job and everyone had fun! It is amazing for the ones that know them how far they’ve all come in the time that they’ve been here as part of our family.

This is the end of our 2026 season so there’s a lot of mixed feelings. This week has been wonderful for the kids, young adults, families, volunteers, Gail and Kurt, and of course, our horses. Every person and animal that is a part of Rising Hope Farms is what makes us a true ministry of God. Over the last 20 years, He has guided us in our growth to being what He wants us to be in order to help others. We have seen strength, miracles, healings, and friendships formed. We’ve all became a family and that’s exactly what God wants from us. We also want to thank everyone who has prayed for us, cheered our ministry, the donations which has helped us with our arena, farm, the care of our animals, and the families to pay $0.00 which is a true blessing for us all. We look forward to seeing everyone next year and I can say from all of us that we will be ready to start the fun again! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!!

Wonderful Wednesday at RHF! The horse show today was a huge success as we cheered for our six cowboys/cowgirls! We all had such a good time with the kids also cheering with us! Our ministry is such a beautiful place we are so blessed that we have all these children to love and celebrate! We have one more horse show tomorrow afternoon - I know all of us are excited to cheer them on!

Terrific Tuesday today at RHF! We had seven beautiful kids showing their talents to their families on their favorite horses. Each day becomes more special this week. It’s so exciting to see how each of them have grown in so many ways. I think the smiles on their faces tell it all!

This week is a big week for Rising Hope Farms. This is a week where we have our horse shows for the Rising Hope Farm families and their kids. Today was absolutely a fun day to see the three riders show off their skills and how they’ve improved during the year. We are so blessed for each and every one of them to be part of us. We’re so thankful that God has brought all of us together to celebrate this week. More fun, more hugs, and a little sadness, knowing this is the end of the 2026 season.

WOW! Another week of fun, laughter, and hugs complete at RHF! It was a hot one this week but that didn’t stop us from enjoying ourselves. It’s so amazing how the kids come out and seeing their faces light up when they see their own horse. You see, they consider that the horse that they ride on is their own. In a sense, they are. They talk to them, love on them as they get their exercise. We even tell the kids that they sometimes have to train their horse. And I can guarantee you that it is just as special for the horses when they see their kids!

We had a great time this week with hay rides, trivia, picking out pumpkins, cookies and popcorn! The weather could not have been more beautiful! It is so much fun this time of year and we all enjoyed the weather.
