Some great thoughts from our friends at HETRA.

Happy 4th! Celebrate with compassion and kindness today.❤️🤍💙

🇺🇸 Did You Know? While fireworks are a fun tradition for many, they can be overwhelming for others—especially individuals with PTSD and our animal companions. The sudden loud noises may trigger anxiety or fear.

This 4th of July, a little extra mindfulness can go a long way:

✨ For those with PTSD: Offer quiet support, respect their space, and be mindful that loud celebrations may not feel safe or enjoyable to everyone.

🐾 For pets & animals: Keep them indoors, create a calm space, and limit exposure to sudden booms or bright flashes.

We're looking forward to celebrating our country's independence, with compassion top of mind—so everyone, two-legged and four-legged alike, can feel safe this holiday.

Have a happy and safe 4th of July weekend! ❤️💙

It is with heavy hearts we share the passing of our good friend, Allen. Our deepest sympathies go out to Gina and the kids and grandkids. We will remember fondly Allen’s smile, humor and story telling during his time riding Little Bay. This world has lost an incredible man, a true patriot, and kind heart! We will miss you Allen.

Please join us in praying for the family during their loss.

Well we tried to deny it and pretend the day would never come, but it didn’t work and our Sara has grown up and this week marked her final day with NHR!

Sara (daughter of founders Brian and Joy Miller) has literally grown up at the ranch and been involved since she was a toddler. She has been a camper, peer rider, volunteer, chore helper, guinea pig horse trial rider, mentor, volunteer training rider, barn manager, horse trainer, saddle fit expert, officer helper, event ambassador, volunteer manager, assistant instructor, camp intern, graphic designer, social media manager and all around champion for changing lives at NHR!

When asked what she will take away from her experience growing up at NHR, Sara said she developed confidence and a true sense of self which will serve her well as she begins her next big adventure.

We have no doubt that her incredible heart for others, her quick wit and fun-loving spirit, her intelligence and wealth of knowledge, her ability to be flexible and work with people of so many backgrounds, ages and abilities, and her keen sense of the needs of those around her will make her an integral part of the team in the Admissions Office at MidAmerica Nazarene University!

Sara may you always believe in your ability to make those around you better. May you always take time to listen and learn from those God sends your way. And may you remember that NHR is and will always be “home”!

Thank you Sara for the COUNTLESS hours of serving at the ranch and for your devotion and wholehearted belief that horses make us all better! To say we will miss you is an understatement but we will be cheering you on - ALWAYS!

Pleasure meeting new friends from Schwarz General & Feed Store

Making new friends is one of the very best parts of Spring Round Up!!!

GOOD EVENING, LANE, and all you fantastic followers!!! As 5 PM races towards us, we just HAVE to give a massive shout-out to New Horizon Ranch and their incredible, hard-working volunteers for putting on such a SPLENDID open house today! They welcomed everyone with open arms, like long-lost friends! And let's not forget Kurt's Ice Cream Truck, serving up the most mouthwatering loaded potatoes and ice cream! We're already dreaming of getting them over here soon!

What an amazing day of new adventures for everyone who came out to NHR! Even those who had visited before seemed to be having an absolute blast, and I personally had so many wonderful chats!

But guess what?! We were also buzzing with excitement here at the store today! And the good news just keeps on coming – you can STILL snag one of Glenda's unbelievably delicious pies, brownies, or loaves of banana nut bread! We've got a few treasures left: yummy blueberry, cherry, and peach pies, PLUS two glorious pecan pies for those who like a bit more heartiness!

Our produce section is still looking bright with strawberries, bananas, lemons, limes, oranges, tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions! We even have one precious dozen of farm-fresh eggs remaining, along with several gallons and half-gallons of whole milk! And of course, we've got all the candy and soda your heart could desire! Need ice? We have 10lb bags ready! And we even have one last case of refreshing water!

We're here until 7 PM tonight, and we'd absolutely LOVE to see you! Or come on by tomorrow from 8 AM to 5 PM! As always, have a blessed and completely stress-free Saturday evening! You all are the BEST!

What a wonderful day!!! The NHR horses and staff helped elementary students learn about kindness and college students learn about the valuable impact of Equine Assisted Learning!
