Straight from ~~the Horse's~~ Rusty's Mouth

Howdy friends! Rusty here, chiming in with some fresh news, barn chatter, and big ol’ horse-sized gratitude from Bit of Faith Ranch. Fall is in full swing out here, and let me tell ya — there’s plenty happening around the pastures, arenas, and community that I just can’t wait to share!

🐴 Lead, Walk, Support — Join Our Volunteer Herd!

If you’ve been thinkin’ about volunteering, partner… consider this your friendly nudge from your favorite chestnut.

Our volunteers are the heart, hooves, and helping hands of Bit of Faith Ranch. Whether you’re leading us horses, walking beside riders, helping with adaptive riding sessions, greeting families, prepping tack, or keeping our barn cozy and clean — YOU make the magic happen.

Whether you come:

Once a month
Every other week
Or every week

…there’s a special spot saved just for you in our volunteer family.

🎉 2025 Barnyard Bash Recap

Yeehaw, what a night! The 2025 Barnyard Bash was one for the memory books.

A huge thank-you to our sponsors, ticket holders, raffle donors, and especially to Cari McGowan, our Board President, and our Junior Board. Your dedication helped us create an unforgettable night in support of families impacted by autism and related disabilities.

And can we talk about how amazing y’all were with the last-minute venue change to Fantasy Farms? Your patience, flexibility, and good humor helped everything fall right into place.

Your hearts, hands, and hooves (well… mostly mine!) made it a night filled with joy, community, and purpose.

🍂 Fall Friends, Horses, and Heart

Our fall riding sessions are in full swing, and I’ve been spotting nothing but big smiles, brave moments, and some fancy new skills in the arena. Confidence is growin’, riders are shinin’, and the whole ranch feels alive with learning and laughter.

This season is all about connection — between riders, volunteers, families, and us horses. And believe me, I see those moments every day from my spot in the barn.

🎥 Monthly Movie Outing — Let’s Go to the Movies!

This month, our Monthly Movie Outing is set for November 22nd to see Sarah’s Oil. Our families always enjoy time together outside the barn — snacks, laughter, and a little inspiration never hurt nobody!

I may not fit in the theater seats, but trust me… I’ll be waiting back at the ranch for all the details. 💛 Moms + Caregivers Roundup — A Sweet November Treat

Calling all our incredible moms and caregivers! You deserve a break, and we’ve got a real treat lined up for ya.

On Friday, November 21st, we’ll gather for lunch at So Fresh at 11:30 AM, followed by a 1:00 PM chocolate-making class at Peterbrooke Chocolatier. It’s the perfect way to relax, connect, and enjoy some creative time with others who understand the journey.

Space is limited, so be sure to save your spot!

It’s shaping up to be a wonderful fall here at Bit of Faith Ranch — full of connection, growth, and a whole lot of love. I can’t wait to see y’all around the barn soon.
