The “Charity Fun Show” for May 16th 2009 ended early due to Thunder Storms. Even with the rain, this has been the biggest turnout in Double Rainbow Farms - Charity Fun Show History, with more than 300 spectators and 40 Riders/Competitors.

There were 8 vendors selling a variety of foods and refreshments for all who attended this years festivities. We would like to thank all who came out to join us to celebrate yet another year of giving at Double Rainbow Farm.

As most of you know, on May 16th 2008, Double Rainbow Farm burned to the ground, taking all tools, tack, hay and even some newborn baby chicks along with it. Even in the darkest of times, with the help of so many who prayed for our salvation and recovery efforts, we remained focused on our goals for Double Rainbow Farms growth within the community, and through God’s love, understanding and compassion, the Phoenix Has risen from these ashes, and what has emerged is nothing short of a miracle, bringing forth...   A New... Beginning...   A brand new day.

...”For thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory,

forever... Amen.”

Matthew 6: 9-13

 

A very special thank you goes out to everyone who has helped us to build our new barn and arena, who have also helped us to remain... “Saddled With Hope.”

 

We are looking to start construction on our indoor riding arena this summer, so please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we undertake this new addition to Double Rainbow Farm, Therapeutic Recreational Riding Facility.

If you or someone you know would like to give hope a helping hand, please call us today at
