Founder of Unbridled Faith Farm. A wife and mother of two children, she is an Ordained Minister, an equestrian with a lifetime of experience in a wide variety of equine activities, including showing Quarter Horses, Paints and Pintos and winning many High Point Year End Awards, Buckles,  Saddles and Titles. Elaine was awarded the Congress USA Championship Trophy for Showmanship in 1971. Her Family owned Quarter Horse Racings,” Horse of the Year“, Rocket Elaine; and the TB Breeders Cup Dystaff winner, Unbridled Elaine. Her father, Roger Devenport, brought the first two Quarter Horses to Wisconsin in the early forty’s from Oklahoma. Horses were always one of the main focus’ of her family.

Elaine attended Oral Roberts University with a major in Psychology. During her college years she volunteered for Teen Challenge and worked with their Youth Group and did Emergency Interventions. Immediately following college, she opened a boutique and hair salon, on Lovers Lane, in Dallas Texas. While there she was written up in Harpers Bazaar for being the New Kid On the Block, in the Dallas Morning News, “Who’s Who” section and was voted one of Dallas’ most eligible bachelor(ettes) for her ‘Fifth Ave. Smarts’. Following her retail years she moved to Ruidoso, New Mexico where she sold advertising for a Southwestern Arts Magazine.

Elaine was an Elder in her churches for many years, youth leader, leader of Marriage Ministries International and counselor. Elaine also led a Women’s Ministry and many home cell groups for women as well as couples.

Like most women, Elaine experienced several heart-braking and traumatic experiences. The result was fear, rejection, co-dependence, anger, control and a need to please people. As a result of negative things that happened to her, and the poor choices that resulted from the abuse and violence, she fought depression and bulimia for many years.

After beginning a personal, intimate relationship with Jesus Christ, Elaine discovered the deep emotional healing and freedom she desired could be found within the Word of God. As her “Connection” to Jesus grew so did her emotional strength and freedom from bondages. The Word began delivering her from the past, restoring her hope and giving her a new Dream! Unbridled Faith Farm is a result of finding out who she was created to be, what she could do, and what was hers in Jesus Christ. Her life’s passion is sharing her healing journey with hurting women and children and showing them how to be “Unbridled”.

* I want to say a very special “Thank-you” to all the men and women of God who poured into my life. Without them the journey would have been much less enlightening (and fun). I also want to give my deepest gratitude and love to my family. They always believed in me, loved me and made me laugh. My children; I love you more than life; I am proud of both of you. You are my,”…more than I could ask or think.” My girlfriends…thanks for helping me ‘giddy-up and get over it”!!! I also give my deepest, heartfelt thanks to my dad. He loved me and knew me better than I knew myself. When I lost my ability to dream; he knew just how to awaken it…he bought me a horse. We always shared a passion; maybe an addiction, for horses. He taught me to hear them and how to speak clearly in response. He showed me how to enter their world, and how much of a privilege it was to be part of their herd. For us it was the language of love. Somehow he knew that our noble friends would carry me, encourage, and inspire me to live my Dream! Jimmy; lets fight the fight, take no prisoners and never, never, never give up! We will create the new legacy for the generations to come! Carpe Diem!!
