Hope Reins, Raleigh, NC
Tuesday, Oct. 21

If you love horses and stories of hope this trip is for you.

Join us for a visit to Hope Reins, a place where hope and healing truly come to life. Joey, a horse whose remarkable journey is told in the true story Joey: How a Blind Rescue Horse Helped Others Learn to See by Jennifer Marshall Bleakley, legacy continues to inspire. Once a prized show horse, Joey’s career ended abruptly after an injury. What followed was a season of abuse and neglect—until a rescue group stepped in and brought him to Hope Reins.

Joey’s journey from brokenness to healing became a living symbol of hope. At Hope Reins, a non-profit, children facing their own crises are paired with rescued horses, discovering that healing is possible and that no one is ever forgotten.
