Horse Haven Ranch Ministries

Family Night and Mini Camp were especially blessed this past week. Praise the Lord!!!

Have a great 4th of July Celebration!

For horseback riding lessons go to "Riding Lessons" or email ruthann.hhrm@yahoo. or call 616-366-5149.

The Auction is over (June 13) and what a huge success it was! The final count is not in yet but almost $6,000 came in on bids for the donated items below and on items donated back to the ministry, like halters, fly masks, sand for the round pen, and horse grain.

We thank God for the generosity of 18 bidders and for those who gave so many wonderful items and services to make this fundraiser a success. The money was very needed to cover expenses for operating this horse ministry.

Horse Haven Ranch Ministries also opens many activities at the ranch for families and the community. Wednesday's throughout hte summer from 5-8 pm is Family Night and all are welcome to ride, share a meal and participate in devotions.

We are so excited about what the Lord is doing here through the lives of many volunteers to make it possible to mentor any girl or person who comes with needs. We are seeing great success for the long-term direction of many who desire to find purpose and meaning in their lives. Thanks again for all who made this possible, especially board member, Ken Kaper, who spearheaded the auction and put too many hours in to count.
