Pablo was donated to Hope Reins Ranch.  He is a registered Paso Fino and we love his "shield of faith" on his forhead.  *As of July 2023, Pablo has returned to his previous owners care to live out the rest of his days with his buddy Toro.   Pablo was a much loved and enjoyed part of Hope Reins Ranch for several years!

Story is privately owned and free leased to Hope Reins Ranch.  Story is a registered Missouri Fox Trotter.  She is trail horse extraordinaire    She is the lead mare at Hope Reins Ranch.  

Chevy is a registered Stardardbred that was bailed from the auction by the family of one of our board members.  His registered name is Chevy to the Levy.  Chevy was in really bad shape when he came to us.  He had suffered some type of injury and it looked like he was going to fall over when he walked or trotted.  But just like the rest of the herd, he has experienced much healing at Hope Reins Ranch.  Chevy is our youngest horse and we just adore his goofy personality.    We aren't sure if Chevy will be able to be ridden, but that certainly does not diminish his value to us.   We love his antics and, even more so, his empathy for our visitors.  He's been known to give hugs when needed.  

Spanky (on the left) and JB were previously boarded at the same barn as Pippa.  We fell in love with these two minis and purchased them for Hope Reins Ranch.  They are our "intro horses" for our younger visitors and those who may be timid around horses.  Spanky lives up to his name as he's a little rascal (dating ourselves there).  JB is a love bug and always wants to help with whatever you are doing.    These two are extremely patient with our guests.  

Simon is a pony that we purchased from the auction.  Simon has had many barriers broken down since he came to Hope Reins Ranch.   He was very standoffish, guarded and defensive when he arrived.  He has been treated with respect, kindness and love and is now one of the first to greet you.  He has quickly beome a favorite of our vistors.  

Roscoe is privately owned and free leased to Hope Reins Ranch.  He is a registered Paso Fino.  He has a special spot in his heart for the young girls.  He loves to be doted on!

Journey was boarded at the same barn as Pippa, JB and Spanky.  He had been what's known as a "husband horse" meaning anyone could ride him.  He was adopted out and then returned.  He was deemed "unrideable" when he was returned due to some trauma suffered while in the adoptive home.  The barn owner donated Journey to Hope Reins Ranch in the hopes that he could have a new life.  Our beloved trainer Erin was able to help him work through his trauma.  He has some arthritic changes in his legs so he is semi-retired from riding but works full time at being groomed, adored and loved upon.   He has come along beautifully and is Gideon's right hand man.

Gideon is the herd leader.  He is a registered Standbred and came to Hope Reins Ranch from the auction  in November of 2018.  His registered name is Rhyme and Rhythm and, according to the Standardbred registry,  had been sent to slaughter 10 years or so before he came to auction.  We are thankful that information was incorrect!   Based on his appearance when we purchased him, he was a buggy horse for those inbetween years.   Gideon is very particular about who he is drawn to.  We are always in awe of his prescense as he is the epitomy of a good leader. 

Willow was donated to Hope Reins Ranch.  She had been beaten and starved by a "horse trainer".   Willow has taught us so much about choosing to trust again inspite of our past experiences.   Willow is definitely a fan  favorite at Hope Reins Ranch.

Our beloved Jessie Bear was donated to Hope Reins Ranch.  He is a thoroughbred retired from fox hunting  and Willow's beau.   He is officially retired from riding but he isn't retired from receiving any and all brushing, scratching and loving that is offered.   *Our very much loved Jessie Bear was peacefully laid to rest July of 2023 due to a number of health issues.  Until we see you again our beloved Bear Bear!  

Blaze was donated to Hope Reins Ranch.  He is 32 years old (as of 2021).  He knows how to do a trick for a treat and enjoys lots of attention!
