Hope Reins in Texas

“Discovering Hope as Big as the Texas Sky”

When the road looks rough ahead, remember the Man upstairs and the word HOPE.

Hang onto both and tough it out.

When the road gets tough, the tough ride horses.

About Us

Lessons and Services

Hope Reins offers a variety of equine-assisted activities, such as:

  • Adaptive, or therapeutic, lessons provided by Hope Reins are offered to individuals with special needs and Wounded Warriors in order to benefit their emotional, spiritual, physical, cognitive, and social well-being. Though this service is not considered a medically prescribed physical, occupational, or speech therapy, it does provide physical and mental benefits. These lessons also provide the rider the ability to enjoy God’s Creation in a peaceful and rustic atmosphere.

  • Within the use of hippotherapy, and specifically the use of physical therapies on horseback, the therapist is able to use the horse’s dynamic movements as a tool to benefit the patient and achieve therapy goals.

  • Riding lessons are available in support of the vision at Hope Reins, and are offered, as well, to clients, students and family members. We provide education in both English and Western riding disciplines and various sub-disciplines and activities.

    In 2023, Hope Reins is introducing a new program where our accomplished instructors will be providing upper-level riding instruction to prepare students for the performance world.

  • We provide able-bodies and special needs summer camp opportunities for boys and girls where they learn about horses, relationships, and their Creator.

  • I can not express how AMAZING this ranch is. My son attended a summer camp here last week. He was taught how to be a cowboy, so many things…… the days were jam packed with horsemanship, art, music and all the things boys love. All of this was taught while delivering a message of kindness and Christ[.]
