At Refuge we clearly understand the need for family and
community. Together, we can do far more than we could
ever accomplish on our own. We are always seeking to
partner with others according to their unique gifts. While
some areas of volunteering require previous horse
experience, many do not. Volunteer opportunities are only
limited by our creativity. There is a place for everyone to
serve. Come be a part of the family at Refuge!

Our Wish List
Equine:
- Hay (Grass or Alfalfa/Grass mix) As the cost of hay
continues to rise, it becomes more and more
difficult to feed horses. More and more horses are
being starved or abandoned because of the
challenges brought on by our struggling economy.
We can only take on as many horses as we can
feed, and that is related directly to the amount of
hay we are able to purchase. - Fly spray, fly spray, fly spray!!! (We also have a
pretty constant need for fly masks and boots) - New or Used Tack We can always accept new
and used tack. What we cannot use here at
Refuge is sold to benefit the operation of the farm. - Grooming supplies (curry combs, brushes, hoof
picks, etc.) - Dewormer
Participants
- Boots We are always in need of women’s and
children’s boots in all sizes. - Drinks & Snacks Prepackaged drinks and
snacks for the kids are welcomed. Freeze pops
and bottles of water in particular! - Coffee & Hot Chocolate
- Craft supplies for times when the kids are here for
off season activities or when they cannot work with
animals due to the weather.

How Can I Pray?
A huge praise that the ARENA
IS DONE!!!
Another huge praise that the
grass lot is fenced!!!
Pray with us for the heart of
every child and adult that
walks onto the ranch! Our
desire is that they would
experience the unconditional
love and acceptance that can
be found only in Christ!
Please pray continually for the
safety of our kids, mentors
and horses.
Pray for office space that can
be utilized as a greeting area
and that can store all Refuge
documents and files.
Pray for another run-in shelter
