Mission
HOPE REINS' VISION IS TO INSPIRE TRUE HOPE AND REAL HEALING FOR EVERY CHILD. AT OUR RANCH, WE PAIR CHILDREN AND TEENS EXPERIENCING TRAUMA WITH A RESCUED HORSE AND MENTOR TO FIND HOPE AND HEALING. THE FREE-OF-CHARGE INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP SESSIONS INCLUDE A FOCUS ON TRUST, COMMUNICATION, BOUNDARIES, AND LEADERSHIP WHICH ARE IMPORTANT FOR BOTH HEALING FROM TRAUMA AND BUILDING LIFE-LONG RESILIENCY. MANY OF THE HORSES AT HOPE REINS HAVE SUFFERED SIMILAR ABUSE, TRAUMA OR REJECTION AS THE CHILDREN WE SERVE. THE COMMONALITY THAT IS PRESENT OFTEN TRIGGERS AN INSTANT AND POWERFUL BOND BETWEEN HORSE AND CHILD. THE CONVERSATIONS FACILITATED BY A TRAINED MENTOR BETWEEN A HORSE AND A CLIENT PROVIDE MEANINGFUL OPPORTUNITIES FOR HEALING AND GROWTH IN THE KEY RESILIENCY SKILLS. OUR GOAL THROUGH SESSIONS IS TO GIVE THESE CHILDREN AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A SAFE RELATIONSHIP, ONE THAT FOSTERS AN ENVIRONMENT OF COMPASSION, COMFORT AND MOST IMPORTANTLY TRUST.
