Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to support the horses and vote for us in the 2026 Best of the Best Awards.

It is truly an honor to be included among so many wonderful local nonprofits. Every single vote means more to us than you know, because each one represents someone who believes in giving senior and retired horses a safe, peaceful place to call home.

If you'd like to support the work of the Davissa Ranch Horse Refuge, we'd be incredibly grateful for your vote. We'll place the voting link in the first comment below.

From all of us here at the ranch—and especially from the horses—thank you for your kindness, encouragement, and support. ❤️

Today is wedding day at The Davissa Ranch Horse Refuge. 🤍

In just a few short hours, Brooke and Will will stand together, surrounded by the quiet beauty of the ranch, and promise one another forever.

There is something incredibly special about knowing that a place dedicated to peace, hope, and new beginnings will become part of their story forever.

We are deeply honored that they chose The Davissa Ranch not only as the place where they will become husband and wife, but also trusted us to preserve these once-in-a-lifetime memories through our photography.

It's a privilege we never take for granted.

To Brooke and Will... thank you for allowing us to be a small part of such a beautiful day. We cannot wait to celebrate with you and capture every smile, every tear, every laugh, and every quiet moment that makes a wedding unforgettable.

Here's to a day filled with joy, love, and the beginning of a wonderful life together.

Congratulations, Brooke & Will! ❤️

We are truly overwhelmed with gratitude.

Because of your nominations and your incredible support, Davissa Horse Refuge has advanced to the Top Five and the Vote for Me round in the 2026 Best of the Best Awards.

That is such an extraordinary gift to us.

Every day, this community shows us just how deeply you love the horses who call Davissa home. You lift us, encourage us, stand beside us, and remind us that this work matters. In the long days, the difficult seasons, and the moments when the weight feels especially heavy, your kindness helps carry us forward.

To know that so many of you took the time to nominate us means more than we can adequately express. It is not simply recognition for an organization. It is love shown to every senior, retired, displaced, and forgotten horse who has found safety, dignity, and peace here.

We feel incredibly blessed to be surrounded by a community that believes in this refuge and in the lives entrusted to our care.

Voting for the finalists and winner in each category begins July 31, and we will share more information as that date approaches.

For now, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for loving these horses, for believing in what we do, and for lifting Davissa Horse Refuge every single day.

We are so deeply grateful. ❤️🐴

People care.

You care about these horses. You care about this mission. You care about the little refuge on the edge of Cheyenne where eleven beautiful lives are allowed to simply be safe, loved, and home.

And you care about us, too.

Being part of the Davissa family means more than supporting an organization. It means standing with us in the work, believing in the purpose, and helping us carry a promise that is much bigger than any one person.

To every donor, every visitor, every friend, every volunteer, every person who shared our posts, and every heart that continues to hold this refuge close. Yesterday you helped us by raising $3,711 to keep this herd safe, cared for and at home.

Thank you.

But beyond the dollars raised, you gave us something else yesterday.

You reminded us that we are not carrying this alone.

You reminded us that this mission matters, that these horses matter, and that there is a family of people standing beside us who believe in what happens here.

That means more to us than we can ever fully put into words.

From Mel, David, and the eleven precious souls who call Davissa home, please know how deeply grateful we are.

Thank you for loving these horses.

Thank you for believing in this refuge.

Thank you for helping us continue.

You are part of the Davissa family.

And we love you for it.

Where Peace Meets Purpose.

As WyoGives begins to draw to a close, we simply want to say thank you.

To every person who gave today, shared our posts, came to visit, encouraged us, or helped others learn about Davissa Horse Refuge, please know how deeply grateful we are.

Every single donation matters. Each gift represents hay in the barn, daily care, safety, comfort, and a permanent place of peace for the horses who call Davissa home. More than that, every gift reminds us that we are not carrying this work alone.

There are still a few hours left to give before WyoGives ends at midnight tonight. If you have been meaning to support the refuge and have not yet had the chance, there is still time.

Donate here:

From all of us at Davissa Horse Refuge, thank you for the love, generosity, and support you have shown today.

We are grateful for every gift, every share, and every person who believes in this work.

Where Peace Meets Purpose.

I’m ready to support Davissa Horse Refuge on July 15, 2026 during WyoGives. Learn more about Davissa Horse Refuge and all the other organizations participating in WyoGives.

In just a couple of hours, we’ll be opening the gates for our WyoGives Open House at Davissa Horse Refuge, and we would truly love to have you join us.

From 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. today, you’re invited to come spend a little time at the refuge, meet the horses, hear some of their stories, and see the peaceful place your support helps make possible.

We’ll have light food, opportunities to decorate horseshoes, and even a chance to do a little painting with the horses. Nothing formal. Just a warm, easy evening among good people, beautiful animals, and a place that means so much to us.

Today is also the only day to give through WyoGives, our most important fundraising opportunity of the year. Every donation helps provide the hay, care, safety, and lifelong refuge these horses depend on.

Come as you are. Bring a friend. Stay for a little while or linger a bit longer.

Everyone is welcome.

DID YOU KNOW?????

Today is National I Love Horses Day and we honestly can’t think of a better way to honor that than by supporting horses who now call Davissa Horse Refuge home.

Every single gift is helping carry the weight of daily care for the horses entrusted to us. NO gift is too small or large.

At Davissa, love for horses is not just a sentiment. It is hay in the barn. Grain in the feed room. Farrier care. Medications. Veterinary care. Safe fencing. Quiet pasture. A permanent place of peace for horses who deserve to be cared for with dignity.

On this National I Love Horses Day, if these animals matter to you, we would be honored to have your support.

If you have already given, thank you.
If you are able to give today, thank you.
If you can share this post so others may see it, thank you.

Every act of kindness matters.
