Founded in 2008 , Hope Reins of New Smyrna Beach , Florida provides traditional therapeutic riding and other equineassisted activities to assist children and adults with a wide range of disabilities , including cerebral palsy , spina bifida , neuromuscular disorders , post-traumatic brain injury , autism , ADHD and cognitive disorders .
We also offer programs for veterans and at-risk youth , allowing for healing and emotional growth in an environment that is tranquil and supportive .
All of our services are offered on a sliding scale and participants are welcome to apply for scholarships through Hope Reins .
Horses are natural empaths and excellent “ four-legged therapists .” Our staff are certified professionals who are assisted by an army of incredible volunteers .
As a federally registered 501 ( c )( 3 ) nonprofit organization , Hope Reins relies heavily upon volunteers and a generous community of contributors to fulfill our mission of helping those who can most benefit from spending time on the ranch .
We are grateful to our corporate sponsors , including Cognitive Kinetics Inc . Daytona Beach , Progressive Medical Research , Rue and Ziffra , Jeep Beach and Security First Insurance .
