Mission: It is the mission of Hope Reins to provide a safe place for at-risk, disadvantaged and hurting children, families and adults to promote hope, healing and change through the use of equine rescued from abuse, neglect, abandonment or other difficult circumstances. Hope Reins rescues, rehabilitates and becomes a forever home to these horses who in turn become the teachers, inspiring and empowering others with their stories of recovery and healing. Participation in the programs of Hope Reins are offered to anyone who could benefit and are free of charge as our goal is to reach those who are most in need of hope. Hope Reins' additional goal for this year is to grow in the form of an additional riding ring to make room for the children on the waiting list and to expand to an additional property.
Results: Hope Reins is now a forever home to 10 equine, 4 of which continue to rehabilitate as they were rescued from severe neglect just this year. 15 children per week are currently visiting Hope Reins, with 15 already on a waiting list.
