Meet Dallas Bruderer – Cowboy Church Pastor & Recovery Advocate

We are honored to welcome Dallas Bruderer as our Cowboy Church pastor at the Teton Horse Experience, speaking at 8:15 am March 15, 2026 during the Colt Starting Experience.

Dallas will narrate the colt starting demonstration, drawing powerful parallels between starting a young horse and our personal journey with Christ—trust, patience, guidance, and transformation.

Dallas has worked with horses most of his life, helping ranchers with roundups, working calves, and caring for sick livestock. While he and his wife Marcy once dreamed of ministering to pastors and their families through trail rides and pack trips in the backcountry, God redirected their path over twenty years ago into addiction ministry—a calling that has deeply shaped their lives.

Together, Dallas and Marcy run Mini Cassia Transitional Living, a Christ-centered, nonprofit women’s recovery and transitional housing program. Dallas also serves as a pastor and recovery coach at Renaissance Ranch and is a Calvary Chapel pastor, where he has led Bible studies in local jails for many years.

About five years ago, ministry demands led them to step away from horses—something that was deeply meaningful and difficult. After retiring three years ago and moving into full-time ministry, Dallas met James and Katie Barnes, and the fire was rekindled. Seeing horses once again used as a tool for healing and recovery confirmed what God had placed on his heart long ago.

As Dallas says, “Jesus has allowed us to combine our love for horses and our love for the addicted—and imagine that, God’s Word is true.”

Psalm 37:4–5
“Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass.”
 

Dallas’s message is one of hope, obedience, and redemption—where faith, horses, and recovery come together in a powerful and tangible way.
