Many of you know him, and allllll of us love him. So we wanted to thank his owner, Rhonda for donating Frosty to Freedom Reins last year. He's little, and he's mighty, and he's quite the character. He's wormed into everyone's hearts and makes the best little guy to brighten all of our days. Unless, he found a mud puddle, then he's not quite as bright (white) and more a dull gray.

Regardless, Rhonda, thank you for sending us your little blessing and supporting us so much in those early months of him residing with us!

To continue with November gratitude, we want to thank the Renfro family, who donated this gorgeous girl to our program and enabled us to open up the program to students that we previously weren't able to accommodate. Sis is a fan favorite because she is simply so gorgeous to look at, and she's got quite the personality to boot. Thank you, Desiree, Lane, and the rest of the family for seeing our program and a need we had. Sis has been a great blessing and addition to the program.

Toma found us through her daughter, Simone who serves as a board member for Freedom Reins. Her son has lessoned before, and once we moved, Toma jumped in to volunteer. If you were to look on our volunteer calendar, you will see her name over and over again as she fills evening feeds and the occasional close. She's always got her work gloves with and is ready to work, but more importantly, alway willing to learn, and roll with the changes we figure out as we go. Thank you Toma for joining us on the ride, we're so glad you found us!

Brian Adams, you were already a volunteer of the month, but we wanted to especially thank you for your never ending willingness to always do all the odd jobs and tasks that we threw at you. Whether it was hanging plaques, cleaning pastures, or helping with the carport in the blistering sun, your positive attitude is always appreciated. We're so thankful you found us through DECU and joined our volunteer team this year. We hope we get to keep you for years to come!

Christina has been a supporter of us for a while, but got heavily involved with us when we moved to Life Foursquare. She's already been the volunteer of the month once before, but this is the month of gratitude, and we are so, so grateful for her. She closes our barn up more than any other volunteer, and she's donated to Freedom Reins to bless our horses with much needed tack. Thank you so much Christina for being a part of our ministry!

Angela Wiant and kids, we're so thankful to have you as a part of our program. Whenever you're here, we feel so supported as an organization. You guys pitch in every time you're asked, and you guys all do it with a smile on your face and a can do attitude. Thank you so much for joining us all those years ago and hanging out with us as we moved locations and figured out all the things. You guys are all much appreciate and loved here at a Freedom Reins!

Bryan Niles, you're up next! You showed up for so much construction. You were just what we needed when several of us were fatigued and ready to leave the project for another day. Your fresh perspective and ability to problem solve always left us in a better place than when we started. Our carport and run in would not have gotten done in the time frame they did without your help. Thank you for helping Freedom Reins when we so needed the help.

We would be remiss if we didn't go back to where we started and thank Jen Camp, the founder of Freedom Reins. Through her love and patience, Jen gave us the framework for what we are today. Behind the scenes, she's given advise, while also giving funds for the ribbon cutting. We wouldn't be who we are today without her, and her daughter in law Tanna Camp. Thank you ladies for all you did for Freedom Reins. We love you!

There was a job that none of us could get it done. Mats. The mats that grace our barn are HEAVY. They're bulky, and they're pretty hard to work with. Many attempted, and most of us failed.

Enter Eddie.

Eddie had the muscle to help move them where they needed to go. Then he found a solution to get the mats cut down to the right size. What took one of us two days to do, Eddie figured out how to get the job done in two hours. Our barn would not be as safe as it is without Eddie and his determination to finish this particular project from start to finish. Besides the mats, he was instrumental in getting our much needed carport built. It literally couldnt have been done without him.

Technically, he was recognized as a volunteer of the month with his fiancee, Kim, who is a dedicated board member, but Eddie deserved his own day this month for dealing with those mats! Next time you are at the barn, check out those mats that keep the horses and kids alike safe and off the concrete!

Devore Stump Removal- you're next! From donations to labor, we are so grateful you're walking this project with us. The second that stump was removed, it created a whole new beautiful view of our place and we're so thankful you took the time from your busy lives to help Freedom Reins!

Chris and Tom- you guys have been such a bright light to our program. From the first volunteer date you came to, to consistently showing up over and over again, to supporting the ribbon cutting with hours upon hours of hard work to prepare. We're so glad you found our program, and we hope to walk alongside you and your family for many more years!

We're not sure where to begin in thanking this family, but especially Brittany and Chris Wentworth. He's actually been a volunteer of the month, but I'm not sure that the post did him justice because he's been so involved on so many projects, both big and small. He's recruited family members (and their equipment) to help install fence posts. He was also critical in getting the carport built (he may have had to rebuild some of the work that was already done- incorrectly). He was also critical in getting the run-in built, that has completely changed the abilities of the pasture we currently have.

Beyond that, Brittany has held down the fort for the multitude of hours he's been constructing all the things. She's also been right alongside on a ladder and a drill. She also picks up chores regularly, taking weight off other volunteers. Lastly, both Brittany and Chris have instilled their service hearts in their kids, who have spent dozens of hours either serving at the barn, or playing with each other while adults are working on projects around them.

Wentworths- thank you so much for everything you've done. You weren't on the ground level of the decision to move the program here, but we can say without a doubt we wouldn't have gotten the things done that we have without your help every step of the way.
