Come. Christ calls us to come, to draw near. Some women in the Bible, some called by name and others just known as other women, came.

They didn’t come because a party was happening, something big was going down, an award was happening.

They came because of death.

They came anyway.

And when they came, they were awarded by life! Jesus himself!

So come close. Closer. Like down to the ground close. Close enough to count the leaves in the clover and see the tiny petals in the grass below your feet.

And find Jesus, who came down from heaven to redeem you today.

Jesus lives! Respond to Him with all of your heart, soul, mind, and strength. Come!

“Come and see, just as He said.” Celebrate Jesus today! He is alive and in Him we are alive as well.

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him.

In love he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved.

In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1‬:‭3‬-‭7‬ ‭ESV‬‬

It truly is Good Friday! Praise Jesus for His sacrifice and gift to us today. Now, go and live for Him! God did this!

Today’s show spotlight is on an owner instead of a rider. We are so thankful to Mitzi Crouse for blessing us with her two horses, Twiggy and Macy. Both horses competed in their first ever ranch horse show with the Tennessee Stock Horse Association a few weeks ago. Hannah rode Twiggy in the novice yourh events and I rode Macy in the junior horse events. Both horses stepped up to the plate and demonstrated that this is where they belong. We look forward to seeing them continue to improve in every event and to one day see their lovely owner exhibit them for herself. God did this!

There’s something so satisfying and fulfilling when you are able to steward God’s creation, especially when it includes three goofy and play-loving calves! We are so proud of Katie Cruise and her dedication to the horses and cattle at Rafter 7C Ranch. God truly has done all of this!

We couldn’t do it without C & M Farm Supply as well and appreciate the quality supplies and feed to keep us moving forward.

Today’s show team spotlight is on Georgia McCormick and her horse Sugar. Georgia has shown what grit and determination truly are in the horse world by not only getting back in the show pen soon after the birth of her daughter, but also by stepping into the saddle on a new-to-her young horse that is the polar opposite of her previous horse. That’s the joy of this event: challenging ourselves to grow more and more into who God calls us to be.

Thank you to the Arab Livestock Market and all of our amazing show team Sponsors for helping to make this a possibility.

Out with the old, in with the new! When you visit us over the next few months, be ready for a construction zone. As of today there is no longer power or water at the barn.

- Please bring water bottles for your riders.
- We will have a clean Port-a-John available for our clients and their families.
- Be prepared for evening rides to wrap up before dark.

Let’s start this adventure!

“Well, I think Roye and I will make a good team.” When you step into a new adventure with a new horse, there are always some questions along the way. The biggest one with horses is learning to build a brand new relationship and communicate in a new way with a 1200 pound animal! But Beverly is patient and willing and the return is an amazing team coming along in their riding together. We are so blessed to be a part of the journey! God did this!
