🍂 We’re halfway through our Fall Sessions! 🍁

Over the past two weeks, we've shared beautiful moments with our amazing kids and horses — building trust, growing confidence, and creating memories.

This week (Week 3!), we’re diving into how life’s joys and challenges come together to create a beautiful picture — just like the puzzle pieces we've been working on. 🧩

As we look ahead to our final two weeks, we're excited to help the children complete their puzzles and reflect on the special plan God has for each of them, and for each of us. We’re grateful to walk alongside them on this journey of growth, faith, and connection.

Thank You from the Heart

I've been so overwhelmed - in the best way - by all the love, kind words, memories, and prayers that have poured in since we shared the news of my resignation and the closing of HUGS Ranch after 19 beautiful years.

Your support has meant more than I can say. It's a reminder of how deeply this ministry has touched lives - not just through horses, by through hope, healing, and faith.

We're currently working through the next steps and want you to know that we're committed to making thoughtful, loving decisions - especially when it comes to our incredible horses.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for standing with us through this journey. Though HUGS Ranch is closing its doors, its impact will live on in so many hearts - including mine.

With love and gratitude,
Lisa

This week, we had some beautiful conversations in our sessions—honest reflections on both the challenges and the joys we face in life. It was a time of connection, support, and shared hope.

As we continue walking together through the ups and downs, we’d love to invite you to be part of our Prayer Circle Group. Every month, we send out a short email with our current prayer requests — our own challenges and praises for the joys we’re celebrating here at the Ranch.

☀️ “He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul.” – Psalm 23:2-3

Today’s gentle reminder: Just like these horses resting in God’s creation, we’re invited to slow down, breathe deep, and trust in His care.
