We are thankful for an amazing year at Guided Hope!
In 2016, over 300 Roundup and Ranch Hand opportunities were shared with new and returning guests! This summer, we added a new Junior Roundup program. Numerous children worked with wonderful, caring Wrangler volunteers on chores and riding skills. Some came for a time of refreshment and service, while others were in the midst of difficult challenges and saw an opportunity for hope and encouragement. One beautiful mom shared, “I happened to just stumble on this amazing place by the grace of God. This was a beautiful time for my children and I….Thank you Guided Hope for giving us a place to find sanctuary through hard times, thank you for loving us.” We hope they can return soon!
Serving is a vital part of our program. Numerous “Ranch Hands” volunteer their time to muck stalls, stack hay, host at events, clean pens, and much more! Families of all ages, Girl Scouts, Eagle Scouts, youth groups, […]

Hope on the range
Eagle Scout
Wow! What a busy, blessed June we have had so far. This week we were incredibly grateful for help from our volunteers.
* Our garden is in! Creative use of those livestock panels from our green thumb experts 🙂
* Meanwhile, our back pasture crew cleaned pens and the tack room. Thank you, middle schoolers and parents!
* Felicity had twins last night! Our last kidding of the season. One doeling and one buckling. Love our floppy-eared Nubians.
* We received our benches from Aaron! Congratulations on completing your final Eagle Scout project! These innovative benches/picnic tables will see daily use for years to come. Thank you!
* We’re prepping for tomorrow’s Hoe Down! Join us from 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. if you can!
As we continue to serve children and families in our summer Roundups, we are grateful for your support. Thank you!
A blessed start to June! We loved having this sweet family out for a Roundup. We are always humbled by the hard work of our smallest Cowgirls and Cowboys during chore time. They are eager to help and care for our animals and inspire us all to continue to serve on the ranch and beyond! We all have something to give, no matter our age. Many have shared with us over the years how God gives them hope in their present circumstances when they care for others and his creation.
Scout is such a good sport with the kids! Hard to decide between painting horses and holding baby goats 🙂 We are grateful to the “Keepers of the Faith” families for serving at Guided Hope! Mucking stalls, weeding our entry path, cleaning pens, and more! Of course, we had to have some fun, too 🙂 Pictures of wheelbarrow races, egg and spoon and more to come.
You are invited on Friday, June 3rd, for an evening of Fellowship, Worship, and Fun! 5:30 – 8:00 p.m. Bring your guitar along to join us in leading a night of praise and worship. All ages welcome. Hay bale tag fun for kids! Hot dogs provided. Bring a side or dessert to share. Please RSVP by June 1st to Kaarin at [email protected].
On Saturday, June 4th, Guided Hope will be in the Berthoud Day Parade! You are welcome to walk in the parade with our GH Team and the goats and/or visit our booth in the park after the parade from noon – 5:00 p.m. If you’d like to walk with us, please email Kaarin at [email protected] for details. We will be meeting at 10:30 a.m. for the 11:00 parade. We hope to see you there!
