Spud was super kind and caring today! Also, thanks for helping me!
~T.H. Teen Group After dealing with Star, I understood her. For some reason, today I gained a lot of confidence.
~T.H. Teen Group Very pleased with this program and delighted I was able to get my boys in. They were going through an especially difficult time and working with the horses was quite helpful.
My 14-year-old has struggled with anxiety and depression for the last 2 years and was bullied at school every single day. Academic work stopped. Socializing stopped. Happiness stopped. Crying in his room never stopped. He was already on prescription medicine for anxiety but nothing was helping enough. I felt like I had failed him. I knew we needed a miracle. Then we found your equine-assisted therapy program.
We are city people and have only been around horses once or twice. The fear of being stepped on by an animal much bigger and stronger is undeniable. But the horses seemed to understand whatever feelings my child was struggling with. During the first few weeks of equine therapy, my kid didn't have much to say about things. After he completed week 4, he came home and opened up like I hadn't seen in many months. He excitedly told me about the obstacle course and how he had to gain the trust of the horse to lead her through the maze of bricks, road cones, and pool noodles. He felt like a leader because he became a leader. With each session, he learned how to heal a little bit more. I'm so thankful to Hope Reins Healing and the grant funding that made it possible for my child to find his own happiness again. Had we not found healing for this child, I'm not sure he would've lived to adulthood. You and the horses saved his life. I will never be able to thank you enough for providing such a calming, healing environment for those who need it most. ~Keith's Mom I want to thank your team for being an important part of Gracie’s trauma recovery. I get emotional just writing about it. Gracie has been through some very tough things, including a recent hospitalization in August.
Gracie had started her sessions which were interrupted by this hospitalization. Equine Therapy allowed Gracie to continue in a new session after she was discharged, which she was ecstatic about. When we heard about this therapy, we were both elated. Finally, something outside of the office where a child can heal. No child wants to sit in an office and discuss their hurt and betrayal. This was such a great opportunity for Gracie to socialize, connect, and heal. Gracie immediately took to Dakota, who shares a similar past. Gracie was able to realize that she is not the only one on this tough journey and was able to see that you can heal from this, if you choose, just like Dakota. Gracie now has an art print of Dakota hung on her wall to remind her of this amazing opportunity. The Hope Reins team is amazing, caring, and patient. I would highly recommend this for anyone looking for a new way to heal. ~Gracie's Mom Going to equine therapy has helped me and my mental health. Aubree has shown me how to show leadership and how to set boundaries. She also showed me that it may take one person to start the process to trust. I know that with teamwork, we can build stronger relationships. I have also seen all of the other girls grow and progress in their treatment.
