About Us

Reins of Hope is a board driven, volunteer dependent, 501c3 non-profit organization that provides recreational riding opportunities to adults and children with a variety of special needs. 

 

Reins of Hope serves riders from all demographics including different ages, races, income levels, and abilities. Our goal is for all riders to experience success while having fun.

 

Reins of Hope offers group lessons on Monday and Wednesday evenings beginning in mid March and running through mid October.   Our lessons are grouped in 6 lesson cycles.

Reins of Hope, Inc.  is operated at a privately owned facility, Thundering Hooves, owned by Jim Orsillo.   Mr. Orsillo generously permits Reins of Hope to use his beautiful indoor arena for our lessons.  Our horses are boarded at Maple Creek Farms Stables, located within Thundering Hooves, adjacent to the arena.  Matt Swearingen leases and manages the stable.  He makes sure all our horses stay happy and healthy by giving them the utmost care.
