October's Newsletter: Straight from the Horse's Mouth
Straight from the Horse's Mouth |
The countdown is officially ON — Barnyard Bash is almost here! Join us on Saturday, October 17th from 4–7 PM at Bit of Faith Ranch for one of our favorite nights of the year.
Get ready for live music, line dancing, BBQ, games, raffles, ranch tours, time with our horses, the mechanical bull, and plenty of good old-fashioned fun! Even better, every ticket helps support the programs and opportunities Bit of Faith Ranch provides for individuals and families impacted by disabilities.
There’s still time to grab your tickets, become a sponsor, or contribute a raffle donation before the big night.
Dust off those boots and come join us for an evening where fun meets purpose. We can’t wait to celebrate with our ranch family and community!
Our Fall season is officially underway, and it’s wonderful to have our riders, horses, volunteers, and families back at the ranch! Along with Adaptive Riding and Mustang Learning, we’ve introduced new Wrangler Sessions for riders who are ready to build greater skills and independence in the saddle.
We’ve already celebrated an incredible breakthrough this season when one of our riders, who had previously participated only in ground activities, took his very first ride!
His mom shared:
“My son started out with some whimpering, nervous laughter and a VERY tight grip on Tammy’s hand. She let him hold on as long as he needed, and before long the nervous laughter had turned into genuine glee. Horses, brushing, golf cart rides and lots of new experiences — he did so well. So grateful for this wonderful little community” — Tara
Moments like this remind us that progress looks different for everyone, and sometimes the biggest victories come with patience, encouragement, and the opportunity to move at your own pace.
As we settle into fall, we’re taking one more look back at a fun and full summer at Bit of Faith Ranch!
From Adaptive Riding and Mustang Learning sessions to movie outings, our Summer Open House & Foam Party, and special Moms + Caregivers gatherings, the season was filled with opportunities to learn, connect, and make memories together.
We also completed an important rain gutter and drainage upgrade around the barn, helping keep areas drier and our horses’ hooves healthier during Florida’s rainy weather.
It was a summer filled with horses, hard work, laughter, fellowship, and plenty of special moments. We’re grateful for all the memories made and excited to carry that same energy into fall!
With the Barnyard Bash right around the corner, we’re tipping our hats to the incredible sponsors helping make this year’s event possible!
A huge thank you to our Platinum Sponsor, Susan & John Ryzewic; Silver Sponsors, Lissa Slade Team with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network, Alpha Electric of Ponte Vedra, and Hope Holloway, Author; and Bronze Sponsors, Noah Bailey Group with Keller Williams Realty Atlantic Partners St. Augustine, Lauri Butler of Best Coast Realty, LLC, NetWorth Financial Group, and Musician Makers.
We’re also incredibly grateful for our anonymous sponsors and everyone who has generously donated items and experiences for our Barnyard Bash raffles.
Your support reaches far beyond one fun evening at the ranch. It helps us continue providing meaningful programs and opportunities for the individuals and families we serve.
Thank you for believing in the mission of Bit of Faith Ranch and helping make the 2026 Barnyard Bash possible!
With grateful hearts,
The Bit of Faith Ranch Team
