Why an Indoor Arena Is Needed

Weather limits our ability to consistently serve our youth and teens. Rain, cold, and winter months lead to canceled sessions and missed opportunities for connection, mentorship, and healing.

Without a covered arena, too many lose the consistency they need — especially those already navigating anxiety, isolation, or life’s challenges.

The Indoor Arena Will…

• Provide year-round equine mentorship

• Eliminate weather-related cancellations

• Create a safe, consistent space for connection and community

• Increase access for youth waiting to participate

• Support our commitment to keeping all programs 100% free

More Than a Building

Rising Above Daily Youth Ranch offers more than activities — we create a safe, faith-centered environment where teens feel seen, heard, and valued.

Everything we offer is free, ensuring no youth or teens are ever turned away due to financial barriers. The Indoor Arena isn’t just about horses — it’s about building a place where these youth can grow, heal, and belong.

Our clients love working with us, just read what they have to say!

"Being at the ranch feels so calming, and we love spending time with Big Gray. We have seen Caleb's confidence grow so much around the horses, around the plumbers, and his mentor, Andrew. We love seeing Caleb have a place where he can just be himself. And for that, we will keep coming back.”

“Rising Above has been an amazing gift for our kids during a hard season. It gave them stability, positive role models, and opportunities they wouldn’t have had otherwise. The routine, consistency, and joy they experience at the ranch — especially with the horses — has created memories we’ll always cherish.”
