Our mission is to provide a safe, nurturing rescue/sanctuary for horses and other farm animals in which they can heal and thrive, and in which they in turn help us to heal and thrive. To this end we host classes in animal centered healing arts and wellness; humane and kind horse and dog training methods; advanced certification in equine assisted psycho therapies; and a safe and friendly environment for children and adults with autism, alzheimers, cancer, and mental/emotional challenges to learn, grow and enrich their lives. The animals help to teach us about connection, relationships and family, lessons we can carry into our daily lives to be happier, healthier and more responsible members of our local community and even internationally.

The Ruth Institute is a global interfaith coalition equipping Christians to defend the family and build a civilization of love. Founded by world-renowned author, speaker, and academic Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse, the Ruth Institute’s Resource Center provides decades of research and educational tools to support individuals and families harmed by divorce, the hook-up culture, and other forms of family breakdown. The Ruth Institute believes that: Every person has the right to know his or her cultural heritage and genetic identity. Every child has a right to a relationship with their natural mother and father except for an unavoidable tragedy. The Ruth Institute rejects the idea that a child is a problem to solve if you don’t want one and an object to purchase if you do want one. The Ruth Institute has a dream that every child be welcomed into life in a loving home with their own mother and father, married to each other. The Ruth Institute upholds the ancient Christian teachings about marriage, family, and human sexuality. These teachings are today sometimes regarded as exclusively “Catholic.” But in fact, Judaism, and most Christian groups, historically taught many of the same things. The Ruth Institute works with individuals and groups, religious or otherwise, who share our views, in whole or in part, regardless of their positions on other issues.
