(News from 2015) We've moved.

As many of you know, for the past two years we have been searching for a larger location for Resolution Horse. We want to invite more children to join the program, extend the seasons in which we are able to ride, and also increase the types of riding available to our guests (thing like driving--that's carts and wagons, for people who can't get on a horse--and an obstacle course). We have also been looking for a location where we can "biggie-size" special events such as the backyard concerts and cowboy church. And finally, we REALLY need more parking!

After comparing available funds with the large investment required for such a property, we began looking outside the Herriman area. The search eventually took us to Arizona, where we have lived in the past. Just north of the historic town of Prescott, we found an 11-acre facility (later biggie-sized with another 24 acres) with a huge outbuilding and irrigated fields. A place where the program could, so to speak, stretch out and grow.

After much deliberation, we've decided to move Resolution to this new location. This has not been a straightforward decision, you should know, as we have made many, many friends in Utah over Resolution's first five years. As one observer put it, "Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for a while, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever the same." This latter group--well, that would be our Resolution family.

We are now relocated and are restarting our riding program on a limited basis as we make improvements to the facility. Sadly, this mean we will not be offering any riding at our Herriman site.

Should any of you riders, staff, or friends find yourselves in central Arizona, we invite you to stop by for a ride. Resolution's new address is 164 W. Liana Drive, Chino Valley, AZ 86323. The phone number is unchanged. All of the horses are making the move, and I'm sure they would like to renew old friendships. Phantom says not to forget the carrots!

You all have blessed us immensely with your energy and enthusiasm, and we will miss every single rider and every single family. We have also been hugely blessed by the incredible volunteers, session leaders, advisory board members, and directors who have conspired to keep this enterprise moving forward. You collectively have spent nearly ten thousand hours making a difference, leading 500 children through 6,700 sessions. And finally, thank you to everybody who chipped in to purchase the hay and the helmets. And the brushes and the saddle pads and ...

As we leave Utah, we'd like to share some sage advice from that most perceptive of philosophers, Dr. Seuss. He put it best: "Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened." And know that wherever you call home, there is a tiny ranch in Arizona that loves you.

May God bless you richly. Adios.
