Darlin is our sweet rescue donkey. She was originally saved by the SPCA in Tennessee and transported back to Texas by Ho**er Ranch Equine Refuge after surviving a heartbreaking hoarding situation where, sadly, some of the other donkeys did not make it. When she first arrived at DPR, she was timid, underweight, and unsure of people.

But what a difference a year of love can make. Today, Darlin will greet others, stand tied, enjoy a bath, and even let us put fly boots on her. Her gentle spirit is finally shining through.

We’re thrilled to share that Mealsbymike has officially sponsored Darlin for 2026! Mike is an incredible man with a generous heart, and we are deeply grateful for his support.

Here’s to a brighter future for Darlin—and to everyone who helps make second chances possible. ❤️🐾🫏

🐴 What Is Equine Facilitated Learning — and Why Is It So Powerful for Trauma Healing? 🌿

Equine Facilitated Learning (EFL) is a guided, experiential learning process where individuals interact with horses—on the ground, not riding— to develop emotional awareness, confidence, communication skills, and a deeper sense of safety and connection.

Horses are incredibly attuned to human emotions. They respond to our body language, energy, and intention, making them natural partners for trauma recovery. In EFL sessions, participants learn to:

✨ Regulate their nervous system
✨ Rebuild trust in themselves and others
✨ Practice healthy boundaries
✨ Develop confidence through clear, calm communication
✨ Experience connection without pressure or judgment

Contact us to book! Www.Divinepathranch.org

Divine Path Ranch is a faith-based nonprofit offering Christian counseling, equine therapy, and animal-assisted therapy for children, adults, families, veterans, and first responders. Healing hearts through hope, faith, and connection.

🇺🇸🐴 Equine-Facilitated Learning: A Powerful Path for Veterans 🐴🇺🇸

Horses have an incredible way of meeting people exactly where they are—and for many veterans, that connection becomes a turning point. Through equine-facilitated learning, veterans can rebuild confidence, strengthen communication skills, and experience a sense of calm that’s hard to find anywhere else.

Horses respond to authenticity, presence, and emotion. They don’t judge—and they don’t forget how to trust. That’s why working with them can help veterans reconnect with themselves, process stress, and rediscover their own inner strength.

Every breakthrough—big or small—matters.
Every moment of connection makes a difference.

Here’s to the horses helping veterans heal, grow, and thrive. 🐎💙
