REBELLION LEADS TO ALL KINDS OF DYSFUNCTION WHETHER IT'S AT WORK, SCHOOL, TOWARDS PARENTS, A SPOUSE, GOD, THE LAW OR ANY OTHER GOVERNING AUTHORITY. REBELLION IN A HORSE LEADS TO A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND WE USE THE HORSES TO ILLUSTRATE THE DIFFERENCE IN THE DIRECTION OF ONE'S LIFE WHEN CHOOSING WISDOM IN OBEDIENCE VS REBELLION. WE ALSO TEACH SKILLS IN RECOGNIZING "SAFE PEOPLE AND SAFE HORSES", TRUST IS EARNED BUT RESPECT IS THE WAY WE TREAT ALL PEOPLE AND ANIMALS, REGARDLESS OF HOW THEY TREAT US. HOPE RANCH IS ABOUT HELPING PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU THAT DETERMINES YOUR DESTINY; IT'S WHAT YOU DO ABOUT IT THAT REALLY COUNTS. WE SEEK TO HELP OTHERS REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL AND TO BECOME GREAT LEADERS IN THEIR HOMES, SCHOOL, COMMUNITIES AND WORK PLACES.

28 A. HOPE RANCH PROVIDED FREE 90 MINUTES SESSIONS FOR SEVERAL SURVIVORS OF SEX TRAFFICKING, INDIVIDUAL WOMEN AND GIRLS THAT WERE STRUGGLING WITH DEPRESSION AND LOSS. THE MAJOR SOURCE OF OUR SERVICE FOR THE YEAR WAS COMMITTED TO WORKING WITH BIG BROTHER BIG SISTER OF UTAH. WE WERE BOOKED NEARLY EVERY FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND SATURDAY FROM MARCH 9-OCTOBER 12 2019. THESE WERE FREE 90 MINUTE SESSIONS FOR THE BIG BROTHERS AND BIG SISTERS WITH THEIR LITTLES. WE PARTNERED EACH VOLUNTEER & THEIR LITTLE WITH 2 OF OUR VOLUNTEERS AND 2 HORSES. EACH BIG & THEIR LITTLE LEARNED TO GROOM THE HORSE, THE BASICS OF HANDLING THE HORSE AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO RIDE. MANY OF THE BBBS VOLUNTEERS AND THEIR LITTLES RETURNED MONTHLY TO ADVANCE IN THEIR SKILLS AND DEVELOP POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE VOLUNTEERS AND HORSES AT HOPE RANCH. THE HEART OF OUR SESSION PROGRAM IS TO PROVIDE A SAFE PLACE FOR CHILDREN, HORSES AND FAMILIES TO EXPERIENCE HOPE, HEALING AND ENCOURAGEMENT. IN EACH SESSION, THROUGH A MYRIAD OF METHODS, THERE IS ONE MAIN PURPOSE-TO MENTOR THE INDIVIDUAL THROUGH THE LOVE OF JESUS. THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED BY INVITING ALL TO COME JUST AS THEY ARE. THE LEADERS OF HOPE RANCH WORK HARD TO PAIR OUR PARTICIPANTS WITH AN ACTIVITY OR HORSE THAT WILL ENCOURAGE THEM FORWARD TOWARD HOPE AND PERSONAL GROWTH. ALL ACTIVITIES ARE CHOSEN AT THE DISCRETION OF EACH INDIVIDUAL LEADER. SOME OF THESE SESSION ACTIVITIES INCLUDE WORKING WITH/RIDING HORSES, CHORES, AND LIFE SKILLS. WITH THE GOAL OF RELATIONAL INVESTMENT IN MIND, THE LEADERS OF HOPE RANCH USE A VARIETY OF ACTIVITIES, SUCH AS RIDING HORSES, GAMES, CHORES, ETC. TO BUILD AN INTENTIONAL ONE-ON-ONE RELATIONSHIP WITH EACH PERSON. EACH LEADER WORKS TO TAILOR EACH SESSION TO MEET THE NEEDS AND DESIRES OF EACH INDIVIDUAL AND TO ENCOURAGE THEM FORWARD TOWARD HOPE AND PERSONAL GROWTH. B. HOPE RANCH ALSO HOSTED 2 STUDENTS FROM GERMANY FOR 3-6 WEEKS DURING THE SUMMER. THESE GIRLS STAYED AT THE RANCH AND VOLUNTEERED WITH EVERY HOPE RANCH EVENT. THESE GIRLS MAJOR PURPOSE IN STAYING AT HOPE RANCH WAS TO LEARN HOW TO SERVE THOSE IN NEED THROUGH INTERACTION WITH HORSES, RANCH WORK AND POSITIVE MENTORING. THEY ALSO LEARNED NATURAL HORSEMANSHIP (WHICH IS BASED ON LOVE, LANGUAGE AND LEADERSHIP RATHER THAN FEAR, MECHANICS AND INTIMIDATION) TO ILLUSTRATE REAL LIFE LESSONS. THEY ALSO LEARNED AND PARTICIPATED IN THE RANCH WORK REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN AND OPERATE A HORSE RANCH. C. HOPE RANCH HOSTED "UNICORN BIRTHDAY PARTIES" FOR LITTLE GIRLS AND OTHER THEME PARTIES. D. WE TOOK OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM OF VOLUNTEERS & HORSES TO ST. GEORGE IN APRIL FOR A WEEK OF HORSEMANSHIP AND LEADERSHIP TRAINING. E. HOPE RANCH RESCUED AN ABUSED AND STARVED 11 YEAR OLD PALOMINO FOX TROTTER MARE. OUR TEAM OF VOLUNTEERS LEARNED MUCH ABOUT FACING FEARS AND WORKING THROUGH THEM RATHER RUNNING OR HIDING AS WE WORKED WITH THE MARE TO GAIN HER TRUST AND HELP HER OVERCOME FEAR. WE HAD A FEW AMAZING MONTHS WITH HER AND THEN SHE SUDDENLY DIED. WE ALL LEARNED TO FOCUS ON WHAT WAS AMAZING ABOUT THE BRIEF TIME WITH HER AND NOT TO GET SUCKED INTO SADNESS AND DEPRESSION. THESE LIFE LESSONS OF ALWAYS BEING GRATEFUL AND FOCUSING ON THE GOOD ENABLE ONE TO MATURE AND BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS IN EVERY AREA OF LIFE. F. OUR HOPE RANCH TEAM OF VOLUNTEERS, BOARD MEMBERS AND MANY PARTICIPANTS PULLED TOGETHER AS WE HAD TO SAY GOODBYE TO ONE OF OUR LONG TIME, TRUSTED FRIENDS. OUR 22 YEAR OLD BLACK AND WHITE PAINT MARE NAMED BUBBLES HAD TO BE EUTHANIZED DUE TO SEVERE ARTHRITIS IN HER KNEES. BUBBLES WAS LOVED BY SO MANY LITTLE GIRLS AND ONE OF THE LIFE LESSONS EVERYONE LEARNED WAS TO DO WHAT IS BEST FOR THE ONE WE LOVE NO MATTER HOW DIFFICULT IT IS FOR US. FOR SOME, IT WAS THE FIRST DEATH THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED AND WE WERE ABLE TO LOVE AND SUPPORT THEM AND HELP THEM GROW THROUGH LOSS.

FORM 990-EZ, PART III, LINE 28	A. HOPE RANCH PROVIDED FREE 90 MINUTES SESSIONS FOR SEVERAL SURVIVORS OF SEX TRAFFICKING, INDIVIDUAL WOMEN AND GIRLS THAT WERE STRUGGLING WITH DEPRESSION AND LOSS. THE MAJOR SOURCE OF OUR SERVICE FOR THE YEAR WAS COMMITTED TO WORKING WITH BIG BROTHER BIG SISTER OF UTAH. WE WERE BOOKED NEARLY EVERY FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND SATURDAY FROM MARCH 9-OCTOBER 12 2019. THESE WERE FREE 90 MINUTE SESSIONS FOR THE BIG BROTHERS AND BIG SISTERS WITH THEIR LITTLES. WE PARTNERED EACH VOLUNTEER & THEIR LITTLE WITH 2 OF OUR VOLUNTEERS AND 2 HORSES. EACH BIG & THEIR LITTLE LEARNED TO GROOM THE HORSE, THE BASICS OF HANDLING THE HORSE AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO RIDE. MANY OF THE BBBS VOLUNTEERS AND THEIR LITTLES RETURNED MONTHLY TO ADVANCE IN THEIR SKILLS AND DEVELOP POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE VOLUNTEERS AND HORSES AT HOPE RANCH. THE HEART OF OUR SESSION PROGRAM IS TO PROVIDE A SAFE PLACE FOR CHILDREN, HORSES AND FAMILIES TO EXPERIENCE HOPE, HEALING AND ENCOURAGEMENT. IN EACH SESSION, THROUGH A MYRIAD OF METHODS, THERE IS ONE MAIN PURPOSE-TO MENTOR THE INDIVIDUAL THROUGH THE LOVE OF JESUS. THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED BY INVITING ALL TO COME JUST AS THEY ARE. THE LEADERS OF HOPE RANCH WORK HARD TO PAIR OUR PARTICIPANTS WITH AN ACTIVITY OR HORSE THAT WILL ENCOURAGE THEM FORWARD TOWARD HOPE AND PERSONAL GROWTH. ALL ACTIVITIES ARE CHOSEN AT THE DISCRETION OF EACH INDIVIDUAL LEADER. SOME OF THESE SESSION ACTIVITIES INCLUDE WORKING WITH/RIDING HORSES, CHORES, AND LIFE SKILLS. WITH THE GOAL OF RELATIONAL INVESTMENT IN MIND, THE LEADERS OF HOPE RANCH USE A VARIETY OF ACTIVITIES, SUCH AS RIDING HORSES, GAMES, CHORES, ETC. TO BUILD AN INTENTIONAL ONE-ON-ONE RELATIONSHIP WITH EACH PERSON. EACH LEADER WORKS TO TAILOR EACH SESSION TO MEET THE NEEDS AND DESIRES OF EACH INDIVIDUAL AND TO ENCOURAGE THEM FORWARD TOWARD HOPE AND PERSONAL GROWTH. B. HOPE RANCH ALSO HOSTED 2 STUDENTS FROM GERMANY FOR 3-6 WEEKS DURING THE SUMMER. THESE GIRLS STAYED AT THE RANCH AND VOLUNTEERED WITH EVERY HOPE RANCH EVENT. THESE GIRLS MAJOR PURPOSE IN STAYING AT HOPE RANCH WAS TO LEARN HOW TO SERVE THOSE IN NEED THROUGH INTERACTION WITH HORSES, RANCH WORK AND POSITIVE MENTORING. THEY ALSO LEARNED NATURAL HORSEMANSHIP (WHICH IS BASED ON LOVE, LANGUAGE AND LEADERSHIP RATHER THAN FEAR, MECHANICS AND INTIMIDATION) TO ILLUSTRATE REAL LIFE LESSONS. THEY ALSO LEARNED AND PARTICIPATED IN THE RANCH WORK REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN AND OPERATE A HORSE RANCH. C. HOPE RANCH HOSTED "UNICORN BIRTHDAY PARTIES" FOR LITTLE GIRLS AND OTHER THEME PARTIES. D. WE TOOK OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM OF VOLUNTEERS & HORSES TO ST. GEORGE IN APRIL FOR A WEEK OF HORSEMANSHIP AND LEADERSHIP TRAINING. E. HOPE RANCH RESCUED AN ABUSED AND STARVED 11 YEAR OLD PALOMINO FOX TROTTER MARE. OUR TEAM OF VOLUNTEERS LEARNED MUCH ABOUT FACING FEARS AND WORKING THROUGH THEM RATHER RUNNING OR HIDING AS WE WORKED WITH THE MARE TO GAIN HER TRUST AND HELP HER OVERCOME FEAR. WE HAD A FEW AMAZING MONTHS WITH HER AND THEN SHE SUDDENLY DIED. WE ALL LEARNED TO FOCUS ON WHAT WAS AMAZING ABOUT THE BRIEF TIME WITH HER AND NOT TO GET SUCKED INTO SADNESS AND DEPRESSION. THESE LIFE LESSONS OF ALWAYS BEING GRATEFUL AND FOCUSING ON THE GOOD ENABLE ONE TO MATURE AND BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS IN EVERY AREA OF LIFE. F. OUR HOPE RANCH TEAM OF VOLUNTEERS, BOARD MEMBERS AND MANY PARTICIPANTS PULLED TOGETHER AS WE HAD TO SAY GOODBYE TO ONE OF OUR LONG TIME, TRUSTED FRIENDS. OUR 22 YEAR OLD BLACK AND WHITE PAINT MARE NAMED BUBBLES HAD TO BE EUTHANIZED DUE TO SEVERE ARTHRITIS IN HER KNEES. BUBBLES WAS LOVED BY SO MANY LITTLE GIRLS AND ONE OF THE LIFE LESSONS EVERYONE LEARNED WAS TO DO WHAT IS BEST FOR THE ONE WE LOVE NO MATTER HOW DIFFICULT IT IS FOR US. FOR SOME, IT WAS THE FIRST DEATH THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED AND WE WERE ABLE TO LOVE AND SUPPORT THEM AND HELP THEM GROW THROUGH LOSS.
