It's Official!


 IT'S OFFICIAL! Sun River Equine Youth Ranch Inc. is now able to operate as a nonprofit organization. Thank you God for the strength and vision that led us to this point and thank you to all our members and volunteers who have worked so tirelessly for our program. 






  
Now the real work begins . . . 
We are preparing for our website's launch very shortly, thanks to Stuart Walsh and his donation of time and hard work. 

In the coming months, our focus will be on program development and safety procedures.
 Gail and Larry Stearns have VERY generously donated this large play set to our program. This donation is critical to the program as it provides a fun and safe place for our young children. THANK YOU!

Meet our volunteers: 
Amanda Harper came to Sun River in the summer of 2011 with her two horses Len and Kat. It is no coincidence that she found us, as she has been a crucial part in development of this program. Amanda's love and knowledge of horses makes her an important addition to our Sun River Family. She helps us with the chores here at the ranch and makes every day brighter with her positive attitude and encouraging personality.

February 10, 2012





Sun River Equine Youth Ranch is a recognized corporation! We received notice yesterday, February 9th, 2012, that we were accepted by the state of Idaho. 


We are currently putting the finishing touches on IRS 1023 and hope to have that in the mail very soon. Once that form is on its way, we can legally operate as a nonprofit organization.













All Bylaws have been adopted, charter signed and directors in place for the grand opening, planned for June of this year. Our fundraising committee has some very special surprises planned for that day! We will announce a date as soon and possible.

We would like to thank Stuart and Kristi Walsh for generously donating their time and talent in working on our website! What can we say . . . we have some pretty awesome friends ( :








We fully believe that every step of this journey has been His plan and we are dedicated to making this new program a ministry to all children and families.

The community here at Sun River is amazing. We are SO BLESSED to have the best staff of volunteers!
We would like to thank Chris Koller for beautifully grooming our arena. This will make for some fun and safe riding days in the weeks and months ahead!
