Dick Foster is a superintendent at Haynes International, father of three, and grandfather of seven. He is also an active church member at Crossroads Community Church and oversees the maintenance and grounds work at Narrow Gate Horse Ranch. He is a “behind the scenes” kind of guy who has spent many hours improving the property, making sure equipment runs properly, and helping at special events. The ranch would suffer without his wisdom and expertise.

Heather is a wife and a mom. She loves Jesus, kids, horses and working at Narrow Gate Horse Ranch! She has been doing Equine Assisted Learning since 2003. She has a Master's Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and was in private practice for a few years. Then she got certified to do Equine Assisted Psychotherapy and started taking kids out to the barn with the horses. She couldn't believe what transpired to bring growth and healing in ways that could never have been achieved in the office. In 2005, she left private practice and has been doing Equine Ministry ever since. She has seen hundreds of kids throughout the years come and find safety, unconditional love, acceptance, and empowerment through the horses. She says, “I’ve seen many of them start to feel God's love for the first time as He teaches them amazing truths through the connection with the horse. I look forward to seeing God touch many more young lives through the years at Narrow Gate.”

Jenny is a wife and mother of 3. She’s happily the grandma to 4 grandchildren. Jenny is a lifelong member of Lutheran Church of Our Redeemer.

She wants those who come to the ranch to know they are cared for and to experience the love of Jesus here.

Jenny is a wife and mom to 4 grown children. Her passion is using animals to teach kids about Jesus and God’s immense love for them. She has a Master’s Degree in Ministry with a concentration in children, youth, and families from Wesley Seminary. Her farm is within walking distance to Narrow Gate and is home to horses (of all sizes), donkeys, sheep, goats, rabbits, chickens, ducks, geese, peafowl, dogs, and one very spoiled cat. She loves using all of these animals to teach kids about Jesus and loves sharing them with Narrow Gate. She also uses her trained and therapy-certified miniature horses to visit senior care and special needs facilities. She says, “I love seeing kids transform through the work with the horse and the Holy Spirit. So many of the kids we see at Narrow Gate just need someone to trust in them and the horses will never lie to them.”
