Seeds of Hope Youth Ranch is a non-profit Christian Youth Ranch led by Wendy Krook. Its stated mission is to be a place of hope, encouragement, and love where the lives of horses and children are changed. The organization brings together abused horses in need of healing and children who have a love of horses and are also in need of healing. Adult volunteers work side by side with the horses and children, helping the children develop a natural love for playing with the horses and building up their character while promoting self-confidence, a healthy work ethic, trusting relationships, respect, and love for the animals and each other. The ranch states that its goal is to reach out to youth in the community and surrounding areas near Duluth, MN, and that it offers its horse program to children who would not normally have the chance to ride a horse. Seeds of Hope Youth Ranch does not offer trail riding.
