Awareness Event Recap

We opened the gates of Hold the Reins to the community for the very first time, and the response was more than we could have hoped for.

Guests had the opportunity to meet our team, spend time with our horses, hear participant stories, and experience firsthand the impact these programs have on veterans, first responders, and others navigating life’s challenges.

Throughout the afternoon, we heard words like “life-changing” and “eye-opening” from attendees. For many, it was their first glimpse into the powerful connection between horses and healing.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, asked questions, shared conversations, and helped make this event such a success. Every person who walked through our gates became part of our mission to provide hope, connection, and healing through the unique bond between horses and humans.

This was just the beginning, and we can’t wait to welcome you back to the farm.

June 6, 1944.

On this day, ordinary men faced extraordinary odds and changed the course of history.

Today we remember their courage, sacrifice, and the freedom they helped secure. 🇺🇸

As our flag waves this weekend, may it remind us not only of our nation’s strength, but of the people who defended it with their lives.

May we never forget their sacrifice.
May we live in a way that honors their memory.
And may we continue to stand together for the values they fought to protect.

From all of us at Hold The Reins, we remember. We honor. We thank you. 🇺🇸

“Absolutely love this… These folks know what it takes to run and maintain such a complex operation as well as having the personal experience to relate to and help those going through the very intimate time spent with the animals.

If you are needing someplace to go without judgement to work through things or just want to help out around the facility and enjoy some hard work and fresh air please give them a shout out, you won’t regret it…. Top tier team!!!!”

* Jon Manifold, Veterans Locker Outreach Program Director / USN Retired SWCC MCPO

Thank you, Jon, for your kind words and support of Hold The Reins. We’re grateful for the time you spent with our team, our horses, and our mission. 🇺🇸

Every participant who comes out here is adapting to something. For some, it’s physical. For others, it’s emotional. Mental. Internal battles nobody else can see.

The mission at Hold The Reins has never been about pretending those struggles don’t exist.

It’s about helping people learn they can still move forward with them and overcome.

The horse doesn’t care what someone has been through. They don’t see diagnoses. Trauma. Scars….Visible or invisible.

They respond to presence, patience, and honesty.
That’s what makes this place different. Horses help you slow down. Be present. In the moment.

Seal led. Horse-powered. Warriors healing warriors.

Today we celebrate the heart behind Hold The Reins, our founder, Mike Hall.

Mike’s vision created more than just a program. He created a place where people can heal, grow, and find connection through the power of horses. His passion for serving others continues to impact so many lives, both seen and unseen. Thank you for the leadership and the dedication you pour into this mission.

Happy Birthday, Mike!
