About

Narrow Gate Horse Ranch invites you to join us for our 4th Annual Derby Ball. Enjoy a night of dining and watching a live stream of the Kentucky Derby. Plan your date night with that special someone.  There will be opportunities to vote on the Kentucky Derby horses, enter the BEST HAT CONTEST, bid on silent and live auctions, and greet and meet with other community supporters or old friends, while showing your support to Narrow Gate.  It is your support and generosity that will make this night, a night to remember. Join the Narrow Gate Horse Ranch, staff, board, and volunteers at the The Experience located in the Kokomo Country Club at 1801 Country Club Road.

There is, however, a purpose for this event.

The Derby Ball will help us raise money to support the ranch, while allowing the children in our community to learn about leadership, community, and mentoring.  Our program serves the at-risk youth of Howard County who struggle with emotional and behavioral problems. The ranch is our teaching grounds, the community our supporters, our volunteers our mentors and teachers, and the horses our mirrors to help the children tell their stories.  Our horses partner with us in helping the youth learn necessary skills to improve their lives. We cannot wait to share stories of joy, hope and new beginnings with you as we continue teaching new ways of thinking that can break cycles of poverty and addiction while helping them redirect their lives! 

Come to the ball and learn more about this amazing process known as Equine Assisted Learning (EAL).  These children are the future of our community, and together we can help equip them to become responsible and productive members of society.
