One-on-one sessions: At the core of our mission and the first step most participants take. It’s 90 dedicated, intentional minutes to be exactly what each individual needs.

Just one person, one horse, and the space to begin building trust, finding confidence, and discovering that maybe things can be different.
There’s no pressure to have it all figured out. No expectation to have the right words. Just the opportunity to show up, be met with kindness, and take things one step at a time.

For many, that first session becomes the beginning of something much bigger. A willingness to try. The courage to trust again. The realization that what they’ve been through doesn’t have to define who they become.
Healing doesn’t happen overnight, and it doesn’t look the same for everyone. But sometimes, all it takes to begin is a safe place, a gentle horse, and someone willing to walk alongside you.

One session. One step. The beginning of HOPE.

We’re so grateful to everyone who makes these moments possible at Freedom Reigns Ranch. You may never see a first step taken in person, but please know your support is making a difference.

“Igniting hope, with the help of a horse” is what we do.
How we accomplish that is in a variety of dynamic ways.

One of those is our group mentorship program for teen girls called “Ranchers”.
These intentional groups, each divided up based on age and life-circumstance, are curated 3 hour sessions where the same group of girls meet together for the duration of up to a year to build community.

They’re led by caring mentors who guide the group through a series of topics over the course of the season that help highlight areas of growth, all while tying in related horse activities and practical application of scripture to each topic.

It’s more than just learning, it’s living out an experience in the moment, surrounded by a caring and supportive community, and being given tools to take off the Ranch and use in every-day life.

It’s how hope is ignited and lives are transformed here every single day.

You might remember Hope. She came to us the first day of our Spring Session Season in February 2024 as an emaciated and defensive mare.
Over the course of her rehabilitation, volunteer Audrey won her heart and later adopted her!
Audrey is now in college studying to have a career in equine-assisted services and took Hope with her.
“I love her for her strong personality and loyalty. Once you earn her trust, she is so loyal and shows her love fiercely- I know she would do anything for me if I asked!” Says Audrey. “This summer, we started learning to canter under saddle, introduced a full bit and bridle, and began working on some more advanced liberty tricks! She has learned to LOVE trail rides and any time spent riding outside the arena. Her absolute favorite thing is cantering up the big hill when we ride around the property.
We also discovered that she enjoys jumping, and loves having free time in the arena to run around and get her zoomies out. She has gained so much confidence under saddle and shows a genuine desire to work with her rider. And we found her love for popsicles-   she can barely contain her excitement when she sees one coming!”

We would love to keep all of the horses we rescue, but some just thrive better when they have one person they can call their own, and Hope made sure she had her person!

We loved having the opportunity to bring a few of our senior rescue horses to Farm Animal Care Coalition of Tennessee’s Livestock 911 Training today where over 80 law enforcement and animal control officers were present. We’re so passionate about sharing how senior horses can thrive and do not have to be thin… and these guys help prove it.

Reese is still in rehabilitation and it was important to take this opportunity for him to show a “super senior” horse in the process of recovery. He is now officially a BCS 3 having gained over 150lbs since rescue- just about 250 more to go! We’ve aged him in his mid-30s. The agent suggested he was even older than that!

Joseph, our 37 year old saddlebred was his usual chatty and excited self but did great! He arrived into our care 7 years ago as BCS 1.5/2 with a skin infection and high parasite load.

Thank you FAACT for providing such a vital learning opportunity for law enforcement and animal control across Tennessee. Today’s training was phenomenal!

Often times, we can’t share their faces or their stories. But we can share this: we’ve surpassed 3,000 hours of programming at the Ranch this year… and we’re not done yet! 🐴❤️

Behind every one of those hours is a life being impacted in ways you may never fully see or hear about.
Your support makes more of a difference than you could ever know. Thank you for helping make it possible for people who have experienced some of the worst humanity has to offer to experience some of the best… through the kindness of session leaders, a safe place to land, and the unconditional love of a horse to reflect God’s heart to them.

You may never know the full story of the life you’ve helped change, but please know this: you are part of it. And we are so grateful. 💕
