Nurturing
Souls
Through Equine Connection
Herd of Hope is a faith‑centered ministry that strives to nurture souls through equine and human connection. Through hands‑on ranch and equine experiences, we equip and encourage each visitor to embrace who God has created them to be. Our goal is to offer outreach programming completely free of charge, made possible through generous donors and dedicated volunteers. Together, we foster connection, build character and life skills, and steward a place of hope for all who visit.
“For in this hope we were saved.”
Romans 8:24

Private Riding Lessons
This is a private horsemanship and riding lesson with expert instruction tailored to your current level of experience. Students are taught with an emphasis on safety and proper technique in a fun and loving environment. Our goal is to create a love for riding, an appreciation and respect for the animal, and confidence in and out of the saddle! Lessons are offered year-round at our location, Riverside Ranch.
Both youth and adults welcome!
