Welcome to Hope Reins - providing support to people of all ages in Equine Assisted Learning & Psychotherapy Programs including the War Horse Project, Pony Pals, and YO Horse! - as participants discover the skills required to engage with horses in a unique learning environment.

Equine Assisted Learning & Psychotherapy

Thank you for your donations. The War Horse Project is an equine-assisted psychotherapy program intended for Canadian Forces members, Veterans, First Responders and Corrections Officers who have been adversely affected by trauma. This program has provided lasting and measurable benefits not achieved with conventional therapies alone.

THANK YOU Elizabeth Graham (Tony Graham Lexus/Toyota) for donating $25,000 to the War Horse Project! (Elizabeth Graham is the wife of Tony Graham, who is a war veteran.) Mrs. Graham, you have made our July to September War Horse Sessions possible. We rely on donations like yours.

Our Challenge to Ottawa Car Dealers
We would like to offer a challenge to our local car dealers - as a group. Can you match Elizabeth Graham's donation? Possibly even join forces with five or six dealers?

The National Capital Region's ORDER of ST.GEORGE added an additional $1,000 (to the Elizabeth Graham donation). The War Horse Project continues to reach those in need!

Charity BBQ nets $500.00 for Hope Reins Equine Assisted Therapy Program and the War Horse Project!

Back in the warmer days of this past summer, Giant Tiger Pembroke hosted a Charity BBQ for the awesome people at Hope Reins of Pembroke & Killaloe. They cooked up the hot dogs and served up the cold drinks that netted them the proceeds of $500.00 on a very warm and sunny Friday August 1st. Many thanks to all our patrons and downtown neighbours who came out to enjoy a BBQ Lunch and support this great cause.

Thank you for your support!
