Our Story

About Us

aving Grace Farm is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that offers equine assisted activities for people ages 4 and up, with special needs, disabilities, youth at-risk, seniors, veterans, and those who have experienced trauma. We serve individuals from Rowan, Cabarrus, Stanley, Iredell, and Davidson Counties.
We are a PATH International Accredited Facility that observes the highest standards of safety and excellence in the industry.
We were founded in 2000 across town near Rowan Memorial Hospital by the Hoben Family. We operated at that location for 15 years until the property was sold and we needed to relocate. We now operate on private property on the south side of Rowan County between China Grove, Faith and Rockwell.

"Our best example is that of the greatest Servant, Jesus Christ. We have been asked if we are a ‘Christian Organization’ and the technical answer is no, we are not registered with the US Government as a Religious Organization, nor do we hand out tracts or promote our views on others. But, the heart behind Saving Grace is a heart given by God. We love Jesus, try to serve every day as He did, and we strive to pray and seek God's will in all we do." ~Janna G.

"For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
Mark 10:45
