Meet Our Herd
The incredible equines at 51:10 Ranch are our partners in ministry. Similar to people, horses, mules, and donkeys can be faced with physical, mental, and emotional challenges. As we share their stories with our participants, people often identify with their histories. Whether they have been adopted, rescued, donated, or purchased, each animal has a special place in the herd.
