Taking the Reins’ 1st Annual

Horse & Harvest Brew-Off

Minutes from downtown Los Angeles, our nonprofit provides a safe space where girls are encouraged to Take the Reins of their own growth and futures. Immersed in the natural environment at our two-acre farm and equestrian center, girls learn to be fit and healthy, to build positive relationships and to thrive creatively and academically while experiencing the restorative power of nature.

The Horse & Harvest Festival is our biggest yearly fundraiser, and we are excited to host our first BJCP Sanctioned & People’s Choice Brew-Off!
