Meet the Team
Meet Robert DeVore
Hi, I’m Robert, and I serve as Program Director here at 8th Mountain Ranch alongside my wife. Horses have been a part of my life for many years, and my background is rooted in natural horsemanship. I’ve seen firsthand how powerful trust and relationship are when working with these incredible animals, and I love sharing how those same principles connect with our walk with God and our relationships with others.
At the ranch, I help design and lead programs that go beyond horsemanship skills. My heart is to create meaningful experiences where people can learn what it means to build trust, cultivate patience, and develop authentic connection — both with horses and in their personal lives. Just as horses respond to leadership grounded in trust rather than force, I believe we are called to walk in relationship with Christ through love, grace, and faith.
My wife and I are passionate about providing a safe, Christ-centered space where individuals and families can experience healing and growth. Each day at 8th Mountain Ranch reminds me that God uses horses in extraordinary ways to draw people closer to Him.
We look forward to welcoming you to the ranch and walking alongside you in this journey of faith, relationship, and discovery.
Meet Tasha DeVore
Hi, I’m Tasha, and my husband and I are blessed to serve as the program directors at 8th Mountain Ranch. I am so excited and honored to be part of this ministry, where rescued horses and the love of Jesus come together to bring healing and hope. 8th Mountain Ranch is a place of new beginnings and restoration—both for the horses who find refuge here and for the people who visit.
A Story of Grace
My own journey has been marked by hard seasons, but God has redeemed every struggle with His amazing grace. The challenges I’ve faced have become a source of compassion and understanding, allowing me to connect deeply with others who are walking through pain or searching for hope. I’ve experienced firsthand the freedom and renewal that only Jesus can bring, and it’s a privilege to share that hope with every guest who comes to the ranch.
Healing Through Horses
Each horse at 8th Mountain Ranch carries a story of redemption, and their gentle presence creates a space where hearts can open and lives can be touched. Through caring for these amazing animals, I witness God’s grace in action as fear gives way to trust, and brokenness is replaced by peace.
My Prayer
Serving at 8th Mountain Ranch is one of the greatest blessings of my life. Each day brings new opportunities to witness God’s healing power and the quiet beauty of His plan. I am continually amazed by how He weaves together the stories of people and horses, creating moments of connection and restoration. My prayer is that everyone who steps onto 8th Mountain Ranch will encounter His presence and leave with renewed hope and a deeper awareness of His love.
