  • Our horses, with the majority of them coming from background of abuse and neglect, are at the very core of what we do at here at Hope Rides. These equines, once broken, lost and hurting, are now doted on by children who themselves have been through many similar circumstances. The experiences of the horses give them the ability to reach out to kids in a unique way, making them what we call “equine counselors.”

    For the many equines who call this place home, Hope Rides offers a safe refuge, a gentle hand and a life purpose. Our training and riding methods are based on the theories of natural horsemanship, which utilize quietness and patience to communicate with horses in their own language, focusing on developing a trust relationship with these magnificent creatures.

    Please consider sponsoring one of our “equine counselors.” by simply choosing a sponsorship level, you can furthermore ensure quality care to our equine counselors and a cost free opportunity to children who call this their special place.

    This agreement in no way entitles sponsor to ownership and/or exclusive privileges to sponsored animal or ranch property. Hope Rides accepts all liability, expressed and/or implied, for sponsored equine. Sponsor has the right to cancel this agreement with a 30 day notice to Hope Rides administration. All monies received from sponsor to date of cancellation remain the property of Hope Rides. Please note that there may be more than one sponsor per equine. This is to ensure that all of our horses are cared for equally, as the funds go into an account to support the whole herd.
