How eQuest For Truth Got Started

eQuest For Truth began much earlier than its website premier of May 2006.  It started with the personal Bible study of Rebekah L. Holt in October 2005.  She was intrigued about what the Bible said about horses and literally sat down with her Bible and Strong's Concordance and began a fascinating journey through Holy Script to discover every mention of the equus kind recorded in Its pages.   The essense of her journey was the beginning of Equus in the Bible and Equine Bible References.

  Growing up on a small family farm with her parents and nine siblings, Rebekah's passion for animals and farm life developed with a lasting fervor for horses. 

Rebekah's Christian parents provided her with an excellent, homeschool education.  For several years, she worked as manager and trainer of Bar H Farms, a family business that specialized in breeding, training, and selling small children’s ponies.  Rebekah's love for working with children and horses was combined in offering riding lessons, first to her seven younger siblings and then to the public in 2003.   In the summer of 2005, Miss Holt received certification through Certified Horsemanship Association as a professional riding instructor and in the summer of 2011, Rebekah expects to complete her certification through PATH Intl. (formerly NARHA) to assist therapeutic riders.

 Rebekah writes, "As a riding instructor, I felt a burden to witness the Gospel message to many riding students. Some of my students came from dysfunctional homes and were following frightening paths to wayward lifestyles.  I realized that the students’ love of horses could lead them to Christ, the Creator and Savior.  Since dedicating my riding lessons to the Lord’s service, I have had the privilege of pointing many young lives and their families to Jesus Christ." 

Teaching children made Rebekah increasingly aware of Darwin's theory of Evolution and its stronghold in the “horse world” and the gaping lack of Biblical equestrian resources.  Riding lessons and other teaching engagements became strategic moments to counter evolution’s fallacy with Biblical truth.  In May 2006, Miss Holt began coordinating eQuest For Truth in an effort to supply equine enthusiasts with the truth about equine origins, equus in the Bible, and other related topics.

When asked how she got "into photography," Rebekah says that "Marketing horses piqued my interest and got me started in a photography service, eQuest Photography.  Photographing God's creation has turned into a passionate hobby.  There are few greater joys than being able to capture a special, fleeting moment of time on film."

On the horse front, Rebekah enjoys training and caring for her three horses, sprucing up her riding skills with some Dressage lessons and finishing up her certification as a PATH Intl.(formerly NARHA) riding instructor.

Rebekah, with her parents and seven siblings, live on their small farm in rural Texas.
