Double Hearts Ranch

September is a beautiful reminder that change can bring its own kind of peace. 🍂🐴

As the seasons begin to shift, our horses and donkeys remind us to slow down, notice what is around us, reflect on where we have been, and give thanks for the blessings along the way.

At Double Hearts Ranch, some of the most meaningful moments happen in the quiet—watching the herd graze, feeling the evening air change, or simply taking a few minutes to be still.

“As seasons change, horses invite us to slow down, reflect, and give thanks.”

We are grateful for our herd, our Ranch, and each person who has become part of our journey. 💜

Day 3 of the 30 Day’s (Day2 was spent with friends and IN) driving west to our new duty station in Kailua, HI 🌺

Long drive through Illinois, mostly the cornfields but what beautiful country there is to see!

Now at the Hipcamp RV spot, , one night only, but just wonderful hosts, great views… and for a horse lover like me, pure bless!

DHR: Thank you for staying and for the beautiful photos of the Ranch.

🎥 ON THE RANCH: We are so excited to share Brayden Garcia’s KTVO Next Gen Ag feature!

At 13 years old, Brayden successfully completed 68 hours of hands-on experience with the horses and donkeys through Double Hearts Ranch’s first Junior Ranch Hand Leadership & Learning Program. Throughout the program, he developed practical ranch skills while strengthening responsibility, confidence, communication, leadership, problem-solving, and respect for animals and others.

This program was made possible with the $3,417 raised during the May 2026 Horses for Mental Health Campaign. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who supported the campaign and helped us turn this vision into a meaningful opportunity for local youth.

Thank you to KTVO for visiting Double Hearts Ranch, recognizing Brayden’s accomplishment, and helping us share this program with a new area of the state!

Please take a few minutes to watch and celebrate Brayden with us:

We are so proud of you, Brayden! 💜🐴

Junior Ranch Hand Leadership and Learning Program Applications will be available in March 2027. If you know of a teen ages 13 - 15, that would be interested in participating, please have them contact us or watch our page for updates.

While most kids spend their summer weekends relaxing. One local tee...

🎉🐾 Happy Birthday to our sweet Gracie! 🐾🎂💜

Today we’re celebrating one very special girl! We aren’t exactly sure whether Gracie is turning 14 or 15, but one thing we know for certain—she has filled our lives with so much love and so many wonderful memories. ❤️

Oh, how I love this pup! 🥰 Gracie has been a GREAT addition to our family and has shared so many adventures with us over the years.

This girl absolutely loves to go for a ride! 🚗🐾 She has traveled with us on some pretty great trips—from New Orleans to St. Louis and lots of places in between. She’s always ready for the next adventure, especially if it means being with us.
She also loves kayaking with Tom 🛶🐶 and heading out on our camping trips. Whether she’s on the road, on the water, at a campsite, or relaxing at home, Gracie just wants to be part of whatever we’re doing—and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

As she gets older, every adventure and every day with her becomes a little more precious. We are so thankful for all the miles traveled, camping trips, kayak rides, memories, and unconditional love this sweet girl has given us.

Happy Birthday, Gracie! 🎉🐶💜 Here’s to another year of rides, adventures, treats, naps, and making memories together!

We love you, sweet girl! 🐾❤️

🐴 2026 Year of the Horse – August 🐴

"Horses teach balance and boundaries—lessons we carry into a new school year."

As backpacks are packed and routines begin again, August reminds us that learning happens far beyond the classroom.

Our horses naturally teach lessons that last a lifetime. They help us understand the importance of respecting boundaries, staying grounded in the present moment, and finding balance between confidence and kindness. Horses respond to calm leadership, clear communication, and mutual trust—qualities that help children and adults alike succeed in school, at work, and in life.

Whether you're a student, parent, educator, or simply beginning a new season, may this month encourage you to slow down, listen, and embrace the lessons that nature so quietly shares.

Here's to a school year filled with growth, confidence, respect, and meaningful connections.

💜 Double Hearts Ranch
More Than a Ranch—A Place To Belong.
