About Reins of Hope
Reins of Hope at Le Bocage is a progressive 501c3 non-profit therapeutic riding program accredited through the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship (PATH) International. Located within the Stables at LeBocage, we proudly serve the Southwest Louisiana community and beyond. We are a professional and passionate group of leaders assisting our riders in reaching their fullest potential by utilizing a unique connection with the horse.
Our mission is to enhance and empower the lives of our clientele using equine-assisted activities and to be an advocate for the healing relationship between horses and humans. At Reins of Hope, our equine-assisted activities are individually tailored to focus on specific issues for each client, providing life tools that will extend beyond the arena and into daily life. Whether it is a physical, emotional, educational, or social issue, horses do not see a disability or a diagnosis. Their non-judgmental hearts allow participants to grow past the confines of their challenges and into a more productive and healthy life. We are so grateful for the support of our community, volunteers, and donors, who allow us to fulfill our program mission.
