The Vision.

Karma Ranch didn't start with a business plan; it started with a promise. When I looked into the eyes of a pregnant, "un-trainable" mare named Jupiter in a Texas kill pen, I saw a reflection of a landscape in need of healing. I realized that the rescue of a single horse and the restoration of a single acre are part of the same cycle.

We are building a Closed-Loop Sanctuary: a place where rescued horses find peace, and in return, their presence helps us heal the land.

The Three Pillars of Karma Ranch

  • We provide a forever home for 95 rescue horses—the forgotten, the injured, and the resilient. Here, they are never "asked" for anything; they are simply allowed to be.

  • We are planting 14,000 native Montana seedlings to restore the water table and create a wildlife corridor. Our trees are the lungs of the ranch.

  • We offer off-grid, sustainable micro-cabins for creators and thinkers. A place for "Deep Work" where the only distraction is the sound of the herd.

The "Karma" Philosophy

At the heart of this project is a simple belief: What we give to the land, it gives back to us. By practicing regenerative stewardship, we aren't just "saving" horses or "planting" trees. We are creating a self-sustaining ecosystem where the horses’ movement improves the soil, the soil feeds the trees, and the trees provide shelter for the herd. This is "Slow Stewardship"—a commitment to a timeline that respects the pace of nature rather than the pace of the modern world.

Our Roadmap to 2026

We are currently in the "Founding" phase. Every post driven into the ground, every seedling protected from the wind, and every horse brought into our care is made possible by our community. We aren't just building a ranch; we are inviting you to be a stakeholder in a living, breathing legacy.

Meet the Founder: Noelle

I have always believed that the way we treat the most vulnerable among us defines who we are. For the last four years, my life has been a whirlwind of wagging tails and muddy paws. As a dedicated foster, I have successfully rehabilitated and rehomed over 300 dogs. That experience taught me the "language" of rescue: it requires endless patience, medical advocacy, and the understanding that healing isn't a straight line.

But my journey took a celestial turn two years ago when I met Jupiter.

Rescuing a "dangerous," pregnant mare and watching her transform into a gentle mother changed my DNA. It showed me that my skills as an animal advocate and my passion as an avid gardener were meant to merge. I realized I didn't just want to save animals; I wanted to heal the very earth they walk on.

Why I am the right person for this mission:


• The Grit: Rehoming 300+ animals isn't just about cuddles; it’s about logistics, veterinary coordination, and emotional resilience. I know how to manage a rescue at scale.


• The Green Thumb: My background in gardening is the foundation for our regenerative goals. I don't just see a "degraded cattle ranch"; I see a canvas for 14,000 trees and a thriving ecosystem.


• The Heart: I am the person who sat in the straw at 2:00 AM to welcome baby Kale into the world. I am the person who ensures a half-blind pony like Luna feels like the center of the universe.

Karma Ranch is the culmination of every dog I’ve fostered, every seed I’ve planted, and every horse I’ve promised a better life. I’m not just building a sanctuary; I’m building a home where we can all—human and animal alike—finally breathe.

Let’s Swap Stories

Whether you have a question about our off-grid tech, want to talk horse rescue, or you're a local neighbor who wants to be a 'guinea pig' for our first trails—I’d love to hear from you. I’m out in the fields most of the day, but I’ll get back to you as soon as I’ve kicked off my boots
