Locust Lane Restoration Center

Locust Lane Restoration Center 501(c)3 non-profit organization specializing in equine assisted therapies and learning.

Our mission is to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness through equine assisted therapy and learning. We use activities involving horses to help overcome trauma and adverse childhood experiences. We introduce life skills that contribute to successful, others-oriented living. Our goal is to educate, equip, and empower people to reach their full potential.

"Training a horse is not about making them obedient.

It is not about creating the perfect ride,
the perfect performance,
or the perfect level of control.

It is about giving them a life where they feel safe in their own body.
A life where they are listened to, not overruled.
A life where their “no” matters as much as their “yes.”

Some of the most beautiful horses in the world are not the most trained.

They are the ones who have learned:
humans can be gentle,
connection does not always come with pressure,
and love is not something they have to earn.

In the end, horses do not remember the ribbons.
They remember how it felt to be with us."

"Trust is not built in dramatic moments. It forms in the ones we almost miss — a pause that lasted long enough, a presence that did not rush toward an answer, or a moment where someone stayed when leaving would have been easier."

Happy 30th Birthday to Jordie!

This sweet old man has been a treasured member of the Locust Lane family, and an amazing partner for the past 20 years.

Please join us in celebrating him this week (but don't tell him his age, because he still thinks he's a youngster!)

Our friend, Stephanie Rousselle has written a book and it’s releasing into the world this summer!

The book is about awakening and sustaining our delight in God, and remembering His delight of us, especially when life is hard.

It’s a balanced mix of deep theology and hands-on practices.

If you know Stephanie, you can't help but be affected by her genuine love for Jesus, and her vibrant, authentic enthusiasm for teaching His Word!

We can't wait to read it, and we hope you will put it on your reading list as well! It sounds like it could be a great choice for our next 'book club' discussion at Locust Lane!

It is currently available for pre-order on Amazon. Reserve your copy today!!

Today is Easter…
and something in me
doesn’t want to rush past that

Because we say it so quickly

He is risen

and move on

But do you understand
what that means?

That means

the body
that hung on a cross

the lungs
that stopped breathing

the heart
that was pierced

started again

Not symbolically

Literally

He was dead

and then—

He wasn’t

And I can’t stop thinking
about the stillness of that tomb

How dark it must have been
How final it must have felt

How death had never
lost before

Every other body
that entered a grave

stayed

Every other story
that ended in death

ended

Until Him

Until Jesus

Because death
met something it had never met before

A Savior
who didn’t just die

but had the authority
to take His life back

And I wonder
what it sounded like

when breath filled His lungs again

When silence broke

When the grave
realized
it couldn’t keep Him

Because the stone
wasn’t rolled away
so He could get out

It was rolled away
so we could see

See that death
does not have the final word

See that sin
does not have the final word

See that your story
does not end
in the grave

Because if Jesus
walked out

then nothing
is too far gone

Not your past
Not your mistakes
Not the things you’ve buried
and tried to move on from

Not even the parts of you
that feel completely dead

Because this is what Easter means

It means death
is defeated

It means hope
is not fragile

It means darkness
doesn’t win

It means God
is not finished

And if He can step into a grave
and walk out alive

then He can step into your life
and do the same

So today—

don’t just say
He is risen

Feel it

Let it shake you

Let it confront you

Let it change you

Because Jesus

is not in the grave

He is alive

And that

changes everything 🤍
