New Sign for Miracles
Jacob Van Zante, a volunteer and Eagle Scout, designed, made, funded, and then installed the new sign for MIracles in Motion that you see when you drive by on 120th St. NW. The sign will be officially dedicated on Saturday, September 21, from 3-5 p.m. at Miracles. Come see the new sign and thank Jacob in person.
Goats and Sheep Grazing at Miracles
A pasture that had not been used recently became so overgrown that it was not safe to mow with the tractor. On August 3, goats and sheep from Twin Pine Farm came to forage and clean up the pasture.

Newest MVECS Buckle Recipients, May 2019
On Sunday, May 5th, Miracles was extremely proud to present MVECS (Military Veterans Equine Care Squad) Buckles to two of our distinguished Veteran students.This presentation included a "first" for MVECS.Our first female recipient is Kim Phillips. Rodney Brewer and Kim both received the MVECS Buckle.
Our buckle program is for those who want to really "buckle" down and show their interest in horses.They are required to complete the class, volunteer at least 25 hours at the farm and pass an extensive written and practical test with a score of at least 95%.Much like a skills badge in the military, this is something that must be EARNED.Less than 1/3 of our students have actually earned the right to wear the buckle and they do so with pride.
Both of our students are Army vets.The buckles were presented by Ken Manley, founder of the MVECS program.
