Opportunity to Ride Horses

The Heischmidt family has a horse ranch near Oregon City and wants to offer
our members/families the opportunity to ride, work on (volunteer), or just
visit their ranch. The cost is ridiculously small and doesn't begin to cover
their expenses. Please visit www.havenofhoperanch.org to learn more.

The Guard Family Program does not endorse Haven of Hope Ranch, but is just passing this info along.
