SPOTTED HORSE MINISTRIES

Renetta Trissel grew up in the Terre Haute area and graduated from St. Anthony Hospital School of Nursing.  She has been a registered nurse for 40 years.  Renetta has been married to her husband Ray for over 14 years.  She has 3 adult children and 7 grandchildren.  They welcomed their first great-grandchild on April 11 this year, Naryah Raven.

Renetta’s love for horses was born in her early childhood and she became an avid equestrian while living in Helena, Montana where she studied under the instruction of Little Bit Farms and Richard Shrake’s Resistance Free methods.  Renetta has extensive horse show and trail riding experience, as well as many years as a 4-H leader. 

Spotted Horse Ministries was a dream that sparked in early 2007 and has since grown, with God’s blessings, beyond her imagination.

Ray grew up in Texas as an Army brat and is now himself retired from the US Army with a Special Forces background, as well as law enforcement.  He also studied under the instruction of Little Bit Farms and Richard Shrake in Montana, and has since gained a working knowledge of the Clinton Anderson methods of horse training.  Ray was also a rodeo bull rider, but we don't hold that against him.  He is the barn manager for Hoosier Spots Ranch and helps with just about anything else needed around the place.  He is quietly behind the scene most of the time, but takes an active part when needed, especially if round pen work or demonstrations are involved.   

Both Renetta and Ray attend Grace Temple Church in Terre Haute.  Pastor David Fleetwood has been a mentor and inspiration to both of them.  They are both active members of the Indy Tres Dias community.
