My Ministry


Son Valley Youth Ranch features horsemanship and day camp with the goal of bringing children and horses together to bond, heal and grow through the love of Jesus Christ. We want children, teens and adults who come here to find love and peace from a harsh world. Our priority is to help those who are at risk or less fortunate.

A New Arrival At The Ranch


It's been a great adventure in 2010. We took in a total of five new horses, what a blessing for the ranch. The horses each have their own personalities. The children, plus adults have their favorite. Now we have been blessed in 2011 with a paint named Smokey, she was donated to the ranch through the Trail busters. Their a great group of ladies that ride the trails all over ILIL, IA, and MO. We meet every December for a yearly Christmas party to reflect on the trails we have rode and where we are going to ride next year. At this past party, Tabby was trying to find a good home for her 21 year old paint mare. Cindy makes a deal with Tabby secretly and next thing I know the ranch has a new arrival for 2011. SMOKEY!! Cindy, Mary Lee, and Tabby traveled 2 hours and arrived here safely with her. Smokey has settled in very well today at her new home, I think she's very happy . Smokeys' going to be a great addition to the ranch, what a sweet and beautiful horse. In closing I just want to thank GOD for all he's doing. The Heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows and proclaims His handiwork. [Psalm 19:1]
