This sweet horse came to us from the Stanislaus County Department of Animal Services.  She was one of the last of the rescued horses from Del Puerto Canyon.  One day I received a call from a gentleman at the Animal Services and he asked me if I could please take her that she needed a good home because she was the last one left out of all the horses they rescued and she was depressed because there were no other horses there with her.  Some of the horses did not survive because they were just too starved and neglected and others had already been adopted out.   So I went to see her and when I did I just knew I had to take her.  I knew by looking in her eyes that she had not lost her spirit and she would make a lot of children happy. She may have been deprived of basic things like food and water but one thing they could not take from her was her will to live.  We have named her hope.  Because she has showed all of us what the meaning of hope really is.

Here is a horse that Cathy purchased from Nor Cal Equine Rescue two years ago.  When she first bought him he had been starved and neglected.  After spending much time with him and building a bond, you see he has blossomed into a beautiful black steed!!  Timmy is her nephew who is sitting on Black Jack.

Here is a beautiful silhouette of one of our volunteers whose name is David and his horse Colorado who he graciously will be lending to RJOH as one of our therapy horses.  David got him when he was very young and they are good buddies.  David also helps with the riding and training of the therapy horses.  Thanks David for all of your dedication to the program!!

While working the horses we were able to see this beautiful sunset while we were riding.  What a way to end a day with such a beautiful day at the ranch.
