Our Team

Marcia is a lifelong horse lover. Her passion is everything "horse." Marcia has been horse addicted since she was a year old when her mother set her on the back of a Budweiser Clydesdale. That started a love of horses that never went away. She spent her early years with horses as much as she was able.

 Marcia moved to Texas in 1990, in order to afford her lifelong dream of owning horses and a ranch. Marcia rescued her heart horse, Sunny, 20 years ago. He is the reason she rescues horses - to give back all that Sunny has given her. 

For the past 20 years, Marcia has been privately rescuing horses from auctions, bad situations and more recently, from kill pens.

Horses have had a profound impact on Holly's life since she was six years old,  when she was given her first horse.  

Along with Holly's passion and dedication to Palomino Ridge Ranch Horse Rescue, Holly is exploring equine therapy possibilities, with the desire to use her background in education and her love of horses, to help others. 

Holly has experienced first hand, the healing power of horses and wishes to work in a capacity that can assist children and adults with equine assisted therapy. 

Holly will be pursuing  Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship (PATH) certification.

Amber has loved horses since she was a little girl.  She has gravitated toward them throughout her life.

 Amber's great love for horses has given her the desire to make a difference in the lives of abused,  neglected and abandoned horses. 

Amber is dedicated to Palomino Ridge Ranch Horse Rescue and helping to find safety for the many horses in need. 

 In her free time, Amber enjoys going horseback riding.

Erica's family has had horses since before she was born, making her very fortunate to grow up around horses. Erica grew up loving and caring for the family's horses. She is a lifelong horse lover. Erica joined our team to help save horses who have been abused, neglected and thrown away. Watching the broken and defeated horses transform into thriving horses who learn what it feels like to be loved, gives Erica great joy.  We are very blessed to have Erica with us.
