Beginning the day with this view and a grateful heart. ❤️

God has been so faithful to DHRR through every season, the good, the hard, and everything in between. We may not always know what’s next, but we know Who does.

Thankful for this little ranch, these horses, every person God sends through our gates, and every single person who helps make it possible. 🤎🐴

Barn fashion show: DHRR edition. 🐴😂✨

Okay, we need to know…
What would your horse wear if they could pick their own outfit?
Cowboy? Princess? Superhero? Something completely ridiculous? 😂👇🏼

Surgery went well on Tuesday, and I’m so thankful for that. 🤍 But the pain since surgery has been unimaginable. I’ve endured a lot of painful things, but this has by far been the hardest.
I’m taking it one day at a time and trusting God through every part of the healing process. 🙏🏼 If you would, please keep me in your prayers as I walk through these next few days of pain, healing, and recovery. I know God is with me even on the days when it hurts more than I can explain.

I am so incredibly thankful for everyone who has reached out, sent prayers, checked on me, and dropped off food. And a big thank you to the girls that are taking care of the horses and barn chores each day 2x a day! Your kindness and support have meant more to me than you know!🤎

🚨 BIG UPDATE & HOW YOU CAN HELP DHRR! 🚨

A few of you have reached out asking how you can support us while I’m recovering. As some of you know, I broke my foot and am heading into surgery tomorrow morning, which puts me unable to get around as much for the next 6 weeks.
While lessons, sessions, and on-farm activities are temporarily on hold, our daily responsibilities don't stop! The horses still need to be fed, cared for, and the barn expenses keep coming.
The good news? You can help us keep things running smoothly right from your phone, without spending a dime!
Because our page is monetized, every bit of engagement generates crucial funds for the farm:

“Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.” Mark 6:31

Even Jesus knew there were times to step away from the crowds, get quiet with the Father, and rest.

My surgery will be Tuesday, and I’ll be out for about six weeks. During that time, DHRR will be taking a short break from lessons and sessions. I will be in contact with my current lesson students after surgery, when I know I am able to get back out to the barn. This has been an extremely hard season, and I believe the Lord is calling us to slow down, breathe, heal, and spend time in His presence.

Rest doesn’t mean we’re giving up or walking away from the calling. Sometimes resting is part of obedience. God never asked us to carry everything in our own strength and it’s time to fill our cup back up.

After these six weeks, we’ll begin our fall group sessions. We believe we’ll return stronger, healthier, and better prepared to love and serve the people God sends through these gates.

We are still accepting applications for five scholarships for our fall group sessions and mentorship /discipleship. These scholarships are for families who otherwise may not be able to afford to participate in our programs. Please apply through our page or at DHRR.org.

For now, we’re accepting His invitation..”Come with Me…and get some rest.” Please keep me, my family, and DHRR in your prayers over these next several weeks.

❤️Jami ❤️

Six breaks🫣 All the foot bones except my pinky toe??
Here’s the full story…
Apparently God gave me MULTIPLE opportunities to GO HOME yesterday, and I ignored every single one.

I got up at 5AM to drive 2 hours to Georgia to ride with one of my favorite trainers and work with my young horses.

About an hour down the road, I realized I LEFT MY WALLET AT HOME.

🚩 Sign #1: “Go home, try again another day.”
Did I? Nope.

Then my morning barn help had car trouble and couldn’t make it in. Horses needed fed, and I thought, “I should just go home.”

🚩 Sign #2: “Go home, Jami.”
Still didn’t listen.

Then I got on Favor, and she was being difficult and refusing to move her feet.
🚩 Sign #3: “GO HOME.”

I asked her to move her hind end over AT A WALK, and she completely went down with me, landing directly on my left foot… and then laid there.
Favor was completely fine. Unfortunately, I wasn’t.
But I got back on and continued riding. I heard my foot POP when I got back in the saddle, but convinced myself I was fine. 🤦🏽‍♀️ I couldn’t ignore it anymore, so I loaded them up.(thank the Lord they self load)

🚩Sign #4: “Well I tried to warn you.”

After 2+ hours at the doctor, I found out I have six different breaks in my foot, including one in the joint.
It’s also the same foot Annie fell on and broke a couple years ago.
Because of the swelling and the extent of the damage, I’ll be having surgery in about a week to reconstruct my foot, with pins in all of my toes and screws in my big toe. 😳
Looking back, I really believe God was trying to get my attention yesterday.
Sometimes when God says “GO HOME,” He means exactly that. Listening to God is important even when it doesn’t necessarily mean getting to do what we want or getting what we want. Maybe I’ve learned my lesson this time around😂

Please keep me in your prayers🙏🏽 This will be a rough road and will have to find care for all the horses
Thank you all for the prayers, love, and support!🤍
