Hi Ed and Judy,
It was nice talking to you tonight. I'm sending you some winter pictures of the girls. There not great but you can see how much alike they are.
Cola is not only a marvelous mom to her filly but to children as well. Her gentle nature has been instrumental in helping four children with varying degrees of Autism to have positive break throughs. She's has touched all those that meet her. However; our beginning was one of suspicion, distrust and distance. She would pin her ears while I haltered her and hesitantly comply. After weeks of gentle contact, persistence and patience she's become a different horse. Now, she helps other release from their mistrust and distance. I believe its safe to say she's become a friend of mine.
A parent offered $10,000 for her. Maybe I'm crazy but ...naaaaa to me she's priceless.*
Nova has the same gentleness and playfulness fillies and colts all have. She isn't shy with people and provokes giggles and smiles from children that were said couldn't show emotion. I'm a true believer of horse therapy. The proof is grazing in my pasture. Thanks Ed and Judy for finding this jewel

Meanwhile Back At The Ranch
After many years of prayer and seeking God’s direction, Eagles Nest Ministries has been able to return to its original vision.
Although we have been busy in ministry activities, our heart has always been to establish a “Ranch” where we could minister to people, especially those in ministry.
In March of 2005, we purchased a 160 acre working cattle ranch in Osoyoos, British Columbia. Our son Casey and his family have moved with us and live in one of the two houses on the property. We together co-pastor “The Gathering Place” church in Osoyoos, as well as the recently opened “Cowboy Church” in Rock Creek.
Our ranch “Son Rise Acres” is located just off of Highway 3, midway between these churches.
Since last year, we have been kept very busy with both churches. We have completed a considerable amount of renovations. Along with the regular fencing for the cattle, we also built a 65 foot round pen, a fully enclosed breaking pen and a 80 x 110 riding arena.
With the help of a few neighbors built a small Chapel. It seats 300 (12 at a time). It is has a stain glass window and a steeple featuring a bell.
We are now ready to begin our second phase - building several cabins and a common washhouse. The purpose for these would be two-fold; providing accommodations for students we bring in for summer ministry training; and to provide accommodations for pastors and their spouses who need a time of renewal.
It is amazing how therapeutic it is to get on a horse and ride for an hour or watch a sunset as you sit by the campfire. It is in those times you can reflect on the goodness of God and His ability to help you live as you were created to live.
