This past weekend another group of wraparound boys came to the ranch. A few of them had been here, but most had not. Those who had been here were able to ride a different horse and they really enjoyed that. The other boys also had a great time riding. The horses have become the best […]

Friday we hosted 6 juvenile probation officers at the ranch. We presented to them our Young Travelers program and actually had them doing some of what the kids do. They went on the trail ride and we discussed the 7 decisions for success, they made a leather craft (bracelets), and we shared a meal together. […]

I wanted to let you all know that the last few pictures of the Wrap Girls 7-24-10is not the girls. You see, after the kids go home we have a stress relief meeting. This week Johnathan decided to teach Kelsi the game of spoons during our meeting. Spoons is a fun game, but very competitive […]
