Taking The Reins

Advancing Girl-Power Through Horse-Power

Who we are

We are Taking The Reins. We encourage at-risk girls to act Boldly, with Courage and Confidence, through experiences with horses at our urban farm.

Our Vision

What we do?

Our Vision

There’s a place where we want to guide these young girls to go — a place of inner-fortitude, confidence, and limitless potential. Experience tells us that they often can find their way to that place, over time, on the back of a horse and in nature.

Taking the Reins during COVID-19

While we continue to pause our volunteer program and our Second Saturday tours due to the pandemic, TTR has successfully altered our programming, creating new ways to engage and support our TTR students and families.

As a 501(c)3 non-profit charity, Taking the Reins relies on your support to continue.

Below are some ways you can donate today!

One time gift

Supporting Taking the Reins with a one time gift is greatly appreciated. You can help TTR finish the new barn or support a child, horse or barn animal. Many donors choose to sponsor a girl or animal for one session, which is $500.00 every six weeks.

Monthly giving

We love monthly giving to support an animal or girl. You can choose the amount that is comfortable for you and know you are supporting something you love. Whatever you choose, you can rest assured your gift will have a positive affect on the life of a young woman.

Corporate Giving; Foundations and Trusts

Many corporations will offer to match monetary gifts you make to non-profits. Ask your company today! Also, if you have or are affiliated with a foundation or trust, larger gifts make a long term difference in the lives of under served girls in the Los Angeles Basin.
