Our culture is so fascinated by super heroes—good vs evil. Perhaps it’s because these caped, brave men and women perform good deeds and make great sacrifices on behalf of others. Perhaps they inspire us when they can perform great deeds with power and might that we simply could not fathom doing.

Amid the distractions of life, keeping focused on what lies ahead keeps us on the straight and narrow. “Now, lead your horse over the bridge,” I said. The teenager looked briefly ahead to the bridge, took a deep breath, and then looked back at her horse.

A look back at years of memories of the little ranch that brought big changes to the lives of many. The love at the ranch is undeniably awe inspiring. On Thanksgiving day, while at my brother’s family dinner, I logged into the cameras at the ranch to check up on the horses and I saw bustling volunteers serving the ranch, each other, and all the creatures great and small that take up occupancy at this little place in the desert.

What I love about horses as healers is that they have the ability to push their human to action. Many of us know what to do, that is insight. We read about it…how to lose weight, how to become present, how to set boundaries, how to get over our past, how to be a leader, how to, how to, how to.

There is so much going on right now in our world that it almost seems trivial to be writing about anything else. Horses are a big piece of my world, and I want to share a little bit about how Reigning Grace Ranch was able to save the day from an incredibly bad situation.
