Session Program

Our session program is designed to provide a safe place for children, families, and horses to experience the hope, healing, and encouragement of Christ. Through as many unique ways as there are unique children, the purpose of each session is to support and encourage every individual youth to find Hope, Peace, and Freedom.

By inviting children and families to come as they are, the session leaders at Rising Above Daily Youth Ranch work through a variety of activities or horses to encourage everyone toward hope.

Our leaders tailor each one-on-one session to meet the needs of each child. The session activities offered are working with or riding a horse. Everything that happens within a session is designed to encourage healing, strength, hope, love and trust through a unique and personal experience.

Session Cost

Our Equine Mentorship program is offered completely free of charge, thanks to the grace of God and the generosity of our donors. Rising Above Daily Youth Ranch is sustained by the unwavering support of those who believe in the hope of a safe haven that our ministry brings.

We are deeply grateful to our incredible team of partners whose donations support the funding for what the Lord is doing in and through Rising Above Daily Youth Ranch.
