Hands-On Learning.
Mule-Led Growth.
Reins 'n' Hands is a Horsemanship Center where healing, connection, and growth unfold in the saddle.
Providing a Christ-centered learning center, developing social, physical, emotional, and cognitive skills with horses and mules under the care and guidance of skilled professionals within a friendly environment.
Reins-N-Hands is a Texas nonprofit corporation offering learning opportunities for children from single parent homes including leadership and life skills through learning to ride and care for mules and horses.
One of our desires is to expand into calf sorting which would include competitive events held throughout the year. One of our top priorities is providing the best possible experience for our students and keeping our animals healthy and safe.
OUR MISSION
To provide a Christ-centered environment where individuals of all ages and abilities can experience healing, growth, and connection through horsemanship.
​
We believe that horses have a unique ability to restore what life has worn down — physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Through intentional care and trained instruction, we create a place where hope rises, confidence is rebuilt, and lives are changed one ride at a time.

ABOUT US
WHERE HEALING MEETS HOOFBEATS
Reins 'n' Hands is a horsemanship program rooted in faith, built on love, and led by the belief that every person — no matter their story — deserves to feel strong, seen, and supported.
​
We serve children, teens, and adults with physical, emotional, or cognitive challenges by offering equine-assisted activities that bring healing, hope, and heart.
​
Here, a barn becomes a sanctuary. A saddle becomes a seat of strength. And a horse becomes a partner in the healing process.
WHY WE DO THIS WORK
We believe horses hold a unique power to connect, calm, and communicate in ways words sometimes cannot.
​
Through consistent care, gentle instruction, and Christ-centered encouragement, we help riders:
-
Improve balance, coordination, and confidence
-
Build emotional resilience and connection
-
Experience joy, freedom, and belonging
Our mission is simple: to create a safe, welcoming space where growth is possible, hope is restored, and lives are changed — one ride at a time.
FAITH-LED.
FAMILY-CENTERED.
FULLY COMMITTED.
Our work is more than a program. It’s a calling.
And we’re here to serve with compassion, excellence, and a whole lot of love.
