We aspire to be a "healing presence in a wounded world". Every day we hear about violence, crimes of the heart and crimes of conscience. But we still search for something good, something true. Our greatest accomplishment has been bringing people and animals together, offering something good and true -- for our clients and the community at large.
ANIMAL RESCUE
We rescue and care for neglected, injured, discarded or abused large animals. We also facilitate adoption and placement of rescue animals.
ANIMAL-ASSISTED THERAPY
We pair animals with children and adults in ways that improve the physical and emotional well being of horse and human.
HORSE FEATHERS VETERANS PROGRAM
This program involves helping veterans through equine therapy. It is an equine driving and groundwork program for all veterans, including those with PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder). Under the leadership of Dave Bradham, a Certified PATH (Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship) instructor, the program focuses on harnessing, emergency unloading, ground driving, horse evaluation, and “putting to” the cart.
RIDING AND PROGRAMS FOR ANIMAL CARE & UNDERSTANDING
At Ray of Light, it's not all about the ride. Along with riding instruction, we concentrate on promoting a genuine understanding of animals and how to care for them. We offer: riding instruction (mainly English), Youth and Adult instruction, and Special Needs Instruction.

We've been to Ray of Light a couple of times now and honestly, I can't think of a better place or way to spend an afternoon! The people are always extremely friendly! And we just LOVE the animals! We'll definitely be going back. Highly recommend this to anyone!
