What it says it does
We minister to children who are broken as a direct result of mental, physical or sexual abuse and/or neglect. We also minister to children who are victims of substance addiction within their families. Our desire is to introduce these children to the love, healing and restoration that only Jesus Christ offers by working, riding and repurposing the broken horses that God has brought to our farm.
