Harvest Moon Horse Ranch and Rescue, established in 2025 and located in Acampo, California, is a 501(c)(3) family-run compassionate haven for equines of all kinds, horses, ponies, and more. Founded by Christina Colburn, a two-time Operation Iraqi Freedom veteran with the U.S. Air Force and now a full-time STEM teacher in Lodi Unified School District, the ranch emphasizes rescue, rehabilitation, and care for equines of all sizes. Beyond mere shelter, the ranch offers a riding arena and community programs for youth, instilling responsibility, empathy, and a deep connection with horses.
Under Christina’s leadership, the ranch operates as both a rescue and an educational center. It provides a safe and nurturing environment where animals receive veterinary care, proper nutrition, and gentle training tailored to their individual needs. Christina’s dual dedication to her students and to the equines she saves reflects the ranch’s mission: healing lives, both hoofed and human.
In just its inaugural year, Harvest Moon Horse Ranch and Rescue has opened its gates to six equines in need, demonstrating strong community commitment and powerful veteran-led stewardship.
