Ashley’s chapter shares the story of Jacob, an Arabian horse who was part of Shepherd Youth Ranch from its early days and whose life touched and changed so many people at the Ranch. Though Jacob passed away a few years ago, his story continues to remind us of the ways God can use unexpected circumstances, people, and even horses to write something greater than we could have planned.
