Hot Off the Press 

HGR Business Profile by Joe Poirier

Heaven’s Gait Ranch’s all-in owners and volunteers provide an outlet for those in need of connecting

Horse Rider Hazel Diamond enjoyed a leisurely walk on a horse named Ellie. Assisting (from the left) were business founder Brian McClaren, instructor Micah Keshemberg, and lead walker Ashley Navis.

Family Heirlooms Treasured at Heaven’s Gait Ranch

Thank you, Vicki Metz for donating your beautiful Western saddle to Heaven’s Gait Ranch, and thank you Ben & Roberta Eberhardy for building such an adorable stand!

All our visitors enjoy petting “Drummer Boy” as he keeps us company in the office. For new riders, he’s the perfect role model to help us teach safety rules and horsemanship skills before ever entering the barn.

Special thanks to the Eberhardy family — especially Gene & Cheri — for supporting our programs and believing in our mission.

 

Girl Power on the Ranch

We are proud to announce Ellie Mae as the first female therapy horse to serve individuals with special needs and disabilities at Heaven’s Gait Ranch!

Thank you, Cheri Eberhardy for donating such a wonderful companion and gentle spirit to our program!
