I’ve seen firsthand that horses can do what medicine alone sometimes cannot. At age 14, my son struggled with debilitating depression and bullying. He was on a few different prescriptions for his mental health but nothing was helping enough. I feared he wouldn’t make it to adulthood–until he started this equine-assisted therapy program through Hope Reins Healing.
Through the power of the horse-human bond, he transformed from a child who couldn’t stop crying in his room to a leader who regained his confidence and his smile. I watched my son go from being silent and afraid to coming home after week four, beaming with excitement about leading a horse through an obstacle course. By earning a horse’s trust, he learned to trust himself again. Horses helped him find happiness again.
I truly believe horses saved him, and I’m raising money to ensure other families can find this life-saving healing, regardless of their financial situation.
