As summer comes to the desert, it is joined by pests!!
We are currently in search of donations for pest control for our horses! Fly Spray (oil based), fly masks (cob/small horse size), and fly ointments (swat/flys off) are the top items we go through the most of.
You are more than welcome to donate funds OR order some and have it sent directly to us!
We appreciate your support so we can continue our mission of providing this program for FREE to our Military Spouses here in 29 Palms California.

Recently one of our biggest supporters came to visit the ranch! Kathy is a Gold Star spouse. She knows the challenges military spouses face better than most and has endured what none of us want to think about.
Kathy's support to our program brings a different clarity to the challenges and fears we face as military spouses, but she also shows us how resilient we can be and how our challenges can shape us to help others.
Thanks for visiting Kathy! And thank you for your continued encouragement and support for our mission 💜🦄💜

Back on January 2nd a representative from the Arabian Horse Association came out to the ranch to talk to Miss Jessica about the ranch and the Program. Torryn was there to help clean up and show off the stallions that preserve some old bloodlines, as well as to talk about her experiences with our program.
Some lovely photos were taken!!
