Welcome to Hope in the Saddle
Our mission at Hope in the Saddle is to share the most meaningful and inspiring stories to emerge from the horse world—stories of how our relationships with horses can help us overcome life’s toughest challenges. Sometimes, that story takes place at an equine-assisted therapy center, where children take their first steps and speak their first words thanks to the awesome assistance of horses. It might take place in a show ring, where a competitor can focus on a goal other than beating cancer. Or it might take place at home, where a beloved family horse knickers away the stress of the day. From all corners of the horse community—from barrel racers to bronc riders and competitive equestrians to backyard owners—we’re here to bring these stories of hope and healing through horses to you.
