KWRP RED Day - Reigning Grace Ranch
Donation protected
At Reigning Grace Ranch, we believe in second chances.
Placing these rehabilitated horses in partnership with children and families...is magical.
We believe that if a spirit is placed in the right environment, given love and the correct attention necessary for growth, it will blossom into a successful member of our society. With horses, it is no different.
Often time’s horses come to the ranch with prior stories. Sometimes these stories follow the horse allowing for their humans to judge or make assumptions, often negatively. The horse is painted in the light of someone else’s perception and this story will decide the fate of that horse. Often times, this story is disastrous and ends tragically. When we rescue a horse, we want very little of the horse’s history. Sure, we ask for any information that may help us to rehabilitate the animal but no story to assume. To rehabilitate means to restore to its original state; not to carry the baggage of the past regardless of what it is or was.
Horses are prey animals, they are not predators and therefore think very differently from their human counterpart. Horses are also extremely social and family oriented. In a herd, a horse’s life depends on his relationship with the family. In a herd there is acceptance, discipline and confidence required to be a member. They are extraordinary communicators, and for a human to be in the presence of the herd is very beneficial for that human.
Placing these rehabilitated horses in partnership with children and families that are trying to heal from a traumatic event in their life is magical. The horse is powerful, beautiful and strong. It is honest and present in the moment and the lesson from a horse is that they will never forget where they have come from, but they don’t carry the burden into the present because it would endanger the herd.
Reigning Grace Ranch horses come from various situations such as rescue, donation, sanctuary and re-homing due to financial strain.
