A Huge Thank You to the Families and Volunteers that came out Saturday, March 26, 2011 to the Open House and Blessing!

Pastor Frye's offered Dedication and Blessing certainly starts this season off on the right "hoof". The entire day was beautifully captured by Photographer Sam Tallman ~ Check out http://www.2photographersandadog.com/gallery/main.php and then click on the Rising Hope album thumbnail. Then again on the Open House 2011 thumbnail to share in the day too. We look forward to seeing you starting Monday!!

A Big Thank You to Killians Inc. at Springs Road in Hickory

Rising Hope Farms would like to recognize Killians Inc. for their generous contribution of the 2500 Toro Commercial Mower 52" to use for the 2011 season. We are so excited about the magnitude of their generosity and what it means to this ministry. This commercial Toro mower will be instrumental in making our facility well groomed and attractive, which will assist us in conveying the utmost respect to our riders. Using this commercial mower will save us time and energy that can be transferred to service our riders and horses. It is always amazing to see the people and organizations that God brings to partner with us in His ministry of individuals and horses. We welcome Killians Inc. as part of our Rising Hope team working together to bring hope and healing to His world and His children.
