Yesterday was so fun! We started the morning with arena games for our ranch kids (our version of the Olympics!) It got a little wild and woolly! We finished the afternoon with a community foam party and a little work on desensitizing horses. With all the chaos they are subjected to, this is a very important exercise for them. Thank you to everyone who came out! It was a fun day!

We played arena games with the kids today! So much fun. My favorite was definitely the “Dolly Parton” race!

Saturday! Looks like a beautiful day for a foam party! Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Meet Purdy Pony!
When we got this pony she was a hot mess. Skinny, sick, and not very friendly. She still hates to be caught (pony syndrome 😂) but once you get her she’s a sweetheart! She sure has turned into a good one! I believe she’s a hackney/shetland cross but who knows. We adore her sassy self!

Typically at our ranch events, we do a “small“ Rodeo demonstration for those who attend. The kids who put on those demos rodeo with Southern Association Youth Rodeo. I often have people ask about our youth rodeo. “What do kids do at the rodeos?” Here’s your answer. “Everything.”
SAY-Rodeo is Ages 2-19. Our kids are not sit at home on their f***y, kids. If they are sitting on their f***y it’s usually for one of two reasons. Either they came off or they are playing in the dirt. I love this sport, these families and these kids! The rodeos are held in Franklin, Ga. For Rodeo dates and times please visit our website! We hope you come out and join us sometime and get the full experience! www.say-rodeo.com
Thank you Gordan Valley Photography for some great shots!

Just life on the ranch. Thank you, Lord, for the rain!

Just another fun day on the ranch! Up Giving Village joined us to provide a day for those with disabilities and their families! So thankful for the gifts God has blessed us with, and true to His provision, it has never rained during one of our ranch mission events. It has rained up until the minute it started, and began raining the minute it ended, but never during. We are in major need of rain. So when the clock struck the end of the event time, the rain came down! I didn’t get a lot of pictures but I’ll share what I took, some that were shared and the great pics that Shell Sampson Photography took! It was a bounce house, two water slides, foam party, mud pit, bounce house, paint a Pid, pony rides, food and then much needed RAIN, kind of day!

Hey all! Here is a SPECIFIC need for one of the apartment fire families. I am strongly recommending gift cards to Walmart. That way they can get what they need. If you would like to donate a Walmart gift card please let me know or if you have any of these items feel free to bring them by the ranch. But please be specific now. We’ve had a bunch of stuff donated, but we don’t have a lot of these specific items.

I have a Large dog. Anything for her will be great.

We are in need of underwear. There is a total of four females and two boys. The three month old should be good on diapers for now.

Fun morning making new friends! I got lots of hugs! I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again, is a rockstar! My donkies are the sweetest! They sure love all that loving!

06/16/2024

I want to thank everyone who stepped up and donated for the families affected by the fire! Douglas County rocks! You all pulled through so much that we are absolutely bursting with donations! We don’t have room for anymore items! Thank you again for your overwhelming response! Any items not needed by the families will be offered to foster families, women in crisis and the homeless.

06/14/2024

A few more from our Special Friends Rodeo! Thank you Shell Sampson Photography for the fun pics!

06/12/2024

UPDATE:
Thank you all so much for stepping up! At this point, we are full to overflowing and can no longer accept items. We sure appreciate everyone who has donated!

Many of you may have seen that an entire building from an apartment complex in Douglasville burnt down today. This is an opportunity to give back. Many of these folks lost everything. If you are willing to donate clothing (all sizes), furniture, appliances, etc, to help these folks rebuild, the Exodus Ranch will be taking donations and doing our best to get them to the right people. Please contact me for information.

We had two professional photographers at our Special Friends Rodeo. One of them took pictures of grand entry and I’m going to share them with you now. As soon as the other pictures are available of the entire day, I will share them! These pictures are from Gordon Valley photography! We’re so thankful they came out!

Happy weekend friends!
I know things are a little crazy in our country right now. But the earth keeps spinning and more people than ever need our love. I would like to offer a special invitation to you all to join us on June 8th, from 10:30 to 1:30ish, for our Special Friends Rodeo, at the Exodus Ranch. This fun rodeo is for children with disabilities. They are a true joy! No matter what happens in DC, children still need us. Veterans still need us. Senior citizens still need us. Women and children in crisis still need us. Foster children still need us. Let's not allow bitterness, anger, or party lines to stop us from loving. We can be united by love. I am inviting you to come cheer on these precious kids! Give them a hug, cheer, clap, help serve, or just enjoy watching them shine! If you choose to join us, please bring your own lawn chair! This is a free event! Let's all continue to change the world by loving and giving back! I hope to see you all on Saturday, June 8th!

If anyone would like to help sponsor this event, we still need sponsors to help cover the cost of all the wonderful things the kiddos will receive. They will receive a T-shirt, a cowboy mug, cowboy hat, bandanna, trophy or medal, goodie bags, lunch, each girl will receive an official Rodeo Queen sash and crown, and each participant will receive a ticket to the Carrollton stampede pro rodeo! Remember, the event is free for our special-needs friends, but it is not free to put on. If you would like to make a donation or be a sponsor, there is still time! Please message us! 
Registration for this event is now closed for participants, but spectators are certainly welcome!
