✨️ Just added: More openings for Private Equine CORE experiences!🐴🌿

Why 60 minutes with a horse? Because settling doesn’t happen on command. The hour allows time to slow down, breathe, build trust, gently groom and connect—giving your nervous system space to shift from carrying everything & being on "high alert" to simply being present.

Private Equine CORE (co-regulation) is a peaceful, one-on-one experience with a horse and facilitator.💚 *(RHR Equine CORE grew from Jenna’s own life experiences and the steadying connection she personally found with horses. She brings that lived understanding into every session, creating something genuine, intuitive and deeply personal.)

No riding. No pressure. No therapy.
No horse experience needed.🐴
Just meaningful time to "reset".

Reserve your private session today. 🤎

🍎🐴 Q: Can I treat the horses to apples or carrot?🥕🤠

A: We love that you want to spoil them—but please ask us first!

Just like people, individual horses can have different dietary needs, restrictions and health considerations. Even something as simple as an apple may not be appropriate for every member of our herd.

We also carefully manage treats so we don't encourage pushy behavior, nipping or horses expecting food from every person who visits.

If treats are appropriate during your visit, an RHR team member will let you know what you can offer, to whom, and the safest way to do it.

So bring the love. 🤎
Leave the snack decisions to us.🤠🍎🥕

Trust us—the horses will still be very happy to see you. 🐴

Ginger is definitely our pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. 🌈🤎

At just 3 years old, this beautiful Suffolk Punch is still learning about her new home, new people and a whole new way of life. With her gentle spirit, quiet strength and growing trust, we believe Ginger’s future at Reigning Hope Ranch will be every bit as special as she is.

One day, we hope she’ll help make ranch experiences even more accessible through wagon and sleigh rides—but for now, we’re simply enjoying the gift of watching her settle in and become part of our herd.

Q: If Reigning Hope Ranch is a nonprofit, why do you host events like the upcoming September 17 Horse Bingo?🤔

A: Because caring for a herd of 10 horses and 2 donkeys is a big responsibility—and fundraising helps us do it well.🐴🫏

Reigning Hope Ranch is 100% privately donor-funded and volunteer-powered. Our horses are at the heart of nearly everything we do, and their care comes first.🤎🤎🤎

Hay, grain, bedding, farrier visits, veterinary and dental care, medications, training and the everyday costs of keeping a herd healthy add up all year long.🤠

That’s where fun community fundraisers like Horse Bingo come in.👍 [Registration in Comments]⬇️

You get a fun night out with prizes, raffles and a little friendly competition—and your participation helps support the animals who make the work of Reigning Hope Ranch possible. 🤎✨️

Come for the Bingo. Help care for the herd. 🐴

🤔 Q: Do I need horse experience to book a CORE (Equine Co-Regulation)session? 🐴 🌿

A: Not at all! In fact, many of our guests have little or no horse experience.

CORE is equine co-regulation—a gently guided experience designed around connection with an equine, not horsemanship skills.

You won't be expected to know how to lead, groom or “handle” a horse. An RHR facilitator is with you and guides the experience at a pace that feels comfortable.

There’s no riding, no test and nothing you need to be good at. 🐴 Lucia (pictured) is a great CORE partner & does much of the work.

You can come because you're carrying a lot and need a gentle "reset". You can come because you're curious about equine co-regulation. Or you can come simply because you'd really love an hour with an amazing horse.🤎

The horse experience isn't something you bring with you. It's what you come to experience.✨️

🐴🎈Birthday Parties 🥳
Q: Can we book a birthday party at Reigning Hope Ranch? 🤠 🎂

A: No—we wish we could! Birthday parties could certainly be a great fundraiser for the Ranch, but there’s an important reason we don’t offer them.

All 10 members of our herd are working horses. Throughout the week, they work closely with people through CORE (co-regulation) sessions, equine therapy, riding lessons and continued training.

And just like people, horses need downtime. Time to rest, graze, socialize and simply be horses is an important part of keeping our herd happy, healthy and willing to do the meaningful work asked of them.

RHR also operates on a carefully planned schedule. Our horses—and our volunteer team—do best when routines are predictable and consistent.

For the same reason, our riding lesson program is currently capped for students, with no waiting list being maintained indefinitely.

So while we love celebrations, protecting the wellbeing of our herd and the consistency of the programs they support has to come first.

Happy horses make this work possible.🤎✨️

🐴Q: Are all 10 horses at Reigning Hope Ranch rescues?

A: No. Our herd comes to us from different backgrounds, and each horse brings something unique to the work we do.

Three of RHR’s ten horses— Amir, Leo & Tripp—are rescues. Their presence is a quiet reminder that safety, patience and connection can change what comes next.

And in many ways, that same idea is at the heart of Reigning Hope Ranch. We create a safe place for people to slow down, connect and simply be—without labels, judgment or expectations.

Sometimes, what comes next begins with simply feeling safe. 🤎

Horses. Healing. Hope.
