About Living Life Ranch

Living Life Ranch was created from a simple but powerful vision — to offer a safe, peaceful space where both children and adults could slow down, feel seen, and experience connection in a meaningful way.

We believe that when people step into the presence of horses, something begins to shift. Horses are deeply attuned to human emotion and body language. They respond not to our words, but to our energy — offering acceptance, honesty, and reflection without judgment.

Through Faith-Filled Horse-Assisted Learning, we create experiences where individuals can partner with Jesus and the horses to explore peace, presence, and personal growth at their own pace.

Our work is not about fixing or forcing change, but about creating space — space where people can feel safe enough to reconnect with themselves, with God, and with others.

Many of our facilitators have personally experienced the impact of this work. We’ve seen firsthand how time with horses, combined with faith and compassionate guidance, can open the door to healing, hope, and renewed perspective.

Our Training & Foundation

As a staff, we have been certified through Elaine Davis’s program, Faith Based Equine Assisted Philosophy, which provided an important spiritual and relational foundation for the work we do today.

Building on that training, our facilitators are also certified in our proprietary PEACE™ Facilitator Model — a faith-filled framework developed here at Living Life Ranch to guide our sessions.

The PEACE™ model integrates presence, emotional safety, partnership with horses, and spiritual connection, creating a structured yet flexible experience for each client.

While our roots are grounded in the philosophy we learned through Unbridled, the PEACE™ model is the primary framework we use in our sessions and facilitator trainings today.

Together, these foundations allow us to offer experiences that are spiritually grounded, trauma-aware, and deeply relational.

Our Beliefs

Living Life Ranch is not associated with any particular denomination.

Our faith is rooted in our relationship with God and our belief in salvation through the grace of His son, Jesus Christ.

We look to the Bible as a source of spiritual guidance and wisdom, shaping how we love, serve, and walk alongside others.

We believe in loving God with all our heart and loving our neighbor as ourselves — and that belief influences the way we hold space for every individual who comes to the ranch.

Our Mission

Our heart is to provide a space where individuals experiencing stress, hardship, trauma, or life transitions can encounter peace and support through equine-assisted experiences.

If you feel led to support this mission, we invite you to partner with us through prayer, participation, or donation.
