Enhancing Lives through Equine-Assisted Therapies

Bond with the majesty, love and power of horses to heal through your mental, social and physical challenges.

Our Purpose

The mission at Reins of Hope is to enhance lives, provide solace, rejuvenation and healing for children and adults with physical, mental, emotional and social challenges through equine-assisted activities and therapies.

Create Emotional Connections

Horses and other Equines are deeply emotional animals that bond with their riders and handlers. Reins of Hope helps you discover this bond on a deeply personal level.

Encourage Positive Healing

Riding and interacting with Equines has physical, mental and social benefits that can lead to improvements in core strength, clarity of mind and confidence in self.

Building Self-Confidence

The skill of handling a horse requires a strength of self and a connection through the animal. As such, learning those skills will build you up as you grow and develop with your equine counselor.

Working with our partners lets us help more people. Their support makes all the difference!

Your Support Makes a Difference

Why Horses?

Horses are known in their ability to bring about meaningful change in a human’s attitude and behavior. The movement of the horse has so much to offer the rider. Its rhythmic walk, gently rolling shoulders and hips. The horse gives the rider constant sensory integration and a great workout.

Horses naturally respond to who you are, how you feel, what you think and what you do. Their reactions help humans to be present, in the moment, and to see themselves as they really are. They work with you to allow you to quickly discover and identify where you need help most.

Truly horses are the best Life Coaches and Therapists one could ask for!

Lucinda Jewel Mini Donkey

Lucinda Jewel

This mini-donkey is super snuggly, soft and so smart.  She was 5 months old when she joined the herd and it didn’t take long before everyone knew she was in charge.  She’s named after two very strong, talented and kind women so it’s only fitting she plays the role! Louie Hamilton has been the best big brother ever as he introduces her to our program and farm.
Marley - Reins of Hope Therapy Horse

Marley

Our curious and lovable 15.3 Grey Arabian Gelding has joined the herd and is taking to adaptive riding very well!  His background includes endurance riding and dressage.  We love this expressive guy!

McCloud

Our gentle giant at 15.3 hands. He is a grey paint quarter horse cross gelding and he has been there and done it all from a Biltmore Estate Trail horse to a girls’ summer camp horse, he has filled his resume.  He now can add therapeutic riding to his list of talents. Sadly, our sweet boy has passed.  He had a full and exciting life of 35+ years but has left a huge hole in our hearts and on the farm.
