Our Horses

Our first rescue horse and member of the Ranch Family.

Boo came to us with an injury to her left hind leg back in 2007.  She had gotten caught in a fence as a yearling.  The owner did not give her the proper Vet care.  She had spent several months locked in a stall putting little weight on the injured leg which caused string halt.

A very kind lady who saw her while buying another horse from the owner was able to get her out of that situation and into an Equine rescue group in South Carolina.  We adopted her from them not knowing if she would ever be rideable.  With love, patience and exercise her leg healed.  Her trust grew and she became an amazing trail horse.  She has carried my kids and I hundreds of miles.  Now she is ready to share her story and help people who also just need love and patience themselves in order to learn to trust and heal, so that they may thrive in a faith filled Life.

Dusty came to us  in 2015 who was seized by Animal Control a few months prior due to neglect.  Our farrier who had been working with him at the stable where he was boarded by the County and he let us know about this horse.   He was six years old at the time and was gelded 6 months earlier.  He was green broke with very few hours under saddle.  At first, he gave us a little bit of trouble because he was not getting along with our other horses because he still thought he was a stud.

Our daughter Ashlee who was 14 at the time finished his training as a trail horse with guidance from our farrier who was working with him.  He is now a perfect gentleman who can be ridden by almost any beginner.

He is ready to serve God by showing everyone how Love, patience and proper care can turn a life around.

 Betty calls this mare her Angel horse for more than one reason.

She rescued her from the Tarheel Feedlot in March of 2017, she was very underweight and sick (borderline pneumonia).  However, she was beautiful to her, she was in a very dark place herself and didn’t want contact with people at all except her kids.  She was feeling rejected and alone.

Bacardi also didn’t want anything to do with Betty, she sat in her pasture for hours talking to her while she grazed praying to God asking him to show her how to make it all better.  God spoke to her in her dreams showing her how to gain Bacardi’s trust and how to get her to take her Meds.  At first, she thought she was losing it then she realized it really was Father God speaking to her and everything started to turn around for Bacardi.  However, Betty was still a mess and resisting Jesus’ constant call for her to come home.

A few months later, God placed a wonderful man into Betty’s life.  Bacardi was instantly in love with him and soon so was she and know she calls him her husband Rick.  She started going to Church, rededicated her Life to Christ, got Baptized and married an amazing husband all within 10 months of saving her Angel horse.  God used Bacardi to teach Betty that Jesus really was speaking to her.

Three years later after a calling from God, Betty and Rick find themselves in Sanford, on an amazing 45-acre property, Launched Always Faithful Ranch believing this ministry is going to change so many Lives.

This sweet girl is here waiting to teach everyone she meets that it is OK to Trust God with our lives.
