True North Ranch

True North Ranch True North Ranch exists to provide a safe and positive experience for children and families to learn about the saving hope of Jesus Christ.

True North Ranch was founded by Lee and Dan Shelstad. Lee started working with horses and saw how a relationship with a horse can bring so much healing! When she played with a horse, saw a relationship form, she experienced how it all mirrored Jesus. So she began sharing this with others who were dealing with trials in their lives. By each chid, family member, coming to the ranch, playing with a h

orse they too experienced Healing, Overcoming their situation, Peace and Empowerment. Putting it together...HOPE! Hope a word so powerful and yet a word we all need, especially in times of trials! This couple has seen a child smile who stopped after his parents divorced, another feel confident after years of bulling, and many others find hope in rough circumstances. At the ranch, we do private 90 minute sessions, one mentor, one horse, one child. Each sessions is unique to the child and to the need. It is our hope that through hands-on experience, kids will learn the value of life, family, faith, and trust. All of this is done, free of charge!

As we come into a week full of family and festivities let us stop and take a moment to remember why Jesus came. This song reflects so much of my heart and the need of daily repentance and the desire to need HIM more! We don't deserve such a gift as freedom from sin, but HE freely gave it...that is Amazing LOVE! Thank you Jesus!
