Merry Christmas! 2016 Highlights!
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
June Roundups have begun!
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.
Thank you, “Keepers of the Faith” families for serving!
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.

2015 Guided Hope News
We hope you enjoyed a wonderful Christmas and are anticipating an exciting New Year! 2015 marked Guided Hope’s second year serving families experiencing loss, military service, adoption, medical hardships, and others desiring to strengthen their families through work, riding, and play on the ranch! We are grateful for a safe, productive, and blessed year.
Prayer Partners, Volunteers, and Financial Supporters! Thank you!
We welcomed new volunteer Ranch Hands of all ages who served in ranch maintenance during our weekdays, while our Wrangler volunteers provided guests of our Roundups memorable days of fun, encouragement, and hope. We will be offering a Horsemanship Clinic for new Wranglers this spring!
Two “Open Ranch Day” events were offered to the community this year, on May 2nd and November 14th. Together, we hosted 200 people for animal fun and country games. Thank you to a number of volunteers who made these events possible!
We introduced our program to more people in our community on June 6. Our goats escorted […]
