Changing Gaits

Welcome to our 2025 May Capital Campaign,

​

On June 1, 2025, we will be celebrating 21 years of God’s programming at Changing Gaits, in Brook Park, MN. So many exciting things happened at the ranch in 2024, and we hope you will follow the link below to listen to our year-end report. 

​

We cannot say THANK YOU enough for all your prayers and financial blessings received over all these years. We have been blessed to serve thousands of God's broken children, both young and old, through our Equine Therapy Programs, Sober Living House for men, our lift for those with disabilities, our Peer Recovery and Licensed Drug and Alcohol professionals, as well as our guided trail rides that provide unforgettable experiences amid our 80-acre ranch filled with nature’s beauty. 

​

Our number one priority is taking great care of these animals. Which means the pastures where they stay need to be kept with new fencing which includes new post, wire, gate, cement to fix the post in tight.  The dollars we spend on maintaining the fencing, to keep our riders and horses safe to continue our therapeutic benefits, is worth every dollar. We have seen healing, hearts mended, and hope restored as we witness God's incredible herd of horse’s touch so many lives. The memories and blessings here at the ranch are countless.  

​

Each year millions of Minnesotans and their communities are impacted by drug use, and rural Minnesota communities face unique challenges as it pertains to substance use and substance use treatment. Treatment provider shortage in rural Minnesota exists, but Changing Gaits is well placed for helping to close the gap in educating and providing healing for those that suffer drug, alcohol, and mental abuse throughout rural Minnesota. People with these conditions are living yet lost. Trapped by so many difficulties of today’s world, we ask you to join Changing Gaits to help us fight these battles with your generous donation, today. 

​

To keep all the Fences in good shape and to keep the horses safe, our goal for this May Capital Campaign is to raise $7777.00 to redo all the fences for the horse pastures. It’s a constant battle to keep the fencing in good shape. The frost loosens the fence post and makes them wobbly and the wire get stretch out or breaks from tree branches falling on it.       

 

Please prayerfully consider donating this year. If you know of someone that has been helped through Equine Therapy, or an organization that would support our mission and help our cause, we would be grateful if you shared our campaign message with them. 

​

At the ranch we like to use the saying, “many hands make light the work.” And so, it is with our success of 21 years because of your generous support and heeding these words, “But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.” (Matthew 6:3-4). 

​

​

God bless, and we are grateful for your support!
