About Us
Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
Dusty Spur Farm was created in 1998 when Lee Williams (owner), and her children moved back to her family farm. God put it on her heart to use the farm to help people. Spur'n Up Hope Inc is the culmination of her prayers, plans and life experiences since that time. It's taken the help of friends and horses, as she shared her dream, to fully cultivate it, but the Lord has brought forth the people and resources needed to bring this program to fruition. She is now certified with two EAL programs. She is the Senior Facilitator at Spur'n Up Hope Inc.

Chyna Hinnant is a graduate of our program. After battling with her addictions and childhood traumas, she was in and out of jail for a long part of her adult life. She had suffered homelessness, lack of family support, and was out of options. She successfully completed the Chesterfield County Jail HARP program, which brought her to Spur'n Up Hope, and then continued her recovery journey with True Recovery RVA. She has been clean from all mind- or mood-altering substances since March 5, 2020. At the beginning, she did not know she would be invited to participate in an equine program. She soon remembered her long-lost passion for horses, and began to dream about connecting with horses and helping others like her. After completion of the program at Spur’n Up Hope she was offered an opportunity to stay on and assist her peers in recovery. By keeping her commitment and staying dedicated, her dreams have become a reality and she now facilitates in our EAL program. She is also a peer recovery specialist, and hopes to help others find the same peace, joy, and self-love she has found here.

After meeting Lee and learning about the mission of Spur'n Up Hope, I knew I wanted to get involved. With a family history of addiction I felt called to help make a difference and started volunteering. After participating in classes and hearing the graduates give testimony of the impact the program made, I was hooked! It is an honor to serve on the board.

Wilson is the owner of Battlefield Body Shop in Petersburg. He is has also been a Chaplain for the Chapter 17 of the Blue Knights Police Dept and serves on the Multitask Grand Jury in Colonial Heights for the last few years. He supports Spur N Up Hope because he truly believes in what we are doing and we are saving lives, one person at a time. When he came home from Vietnam, he was in somewhat the same condition of some of the men that attend the classes with drugs. God saved his life, so now he is trying to give back to the community.
