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 & 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.

We need your help this #GivingTuesday
I hope you have enjoyed our recent updates. As friends and supporters of Taking the Reins, I like to keep you informed. As you heard from members of our “herd” – last week, covering the rapidly-rising costs of horse care is currently our greatest need. Since the start...
Our horses have a favor to ask …
Hi human friends – It’s Lovie and the rest of the horses from Taking the Reins here! We hope you had a great Thanksgiving with your families. People tell us that it’s a day to be grateful and a day with lots of yummy food. That sounds fun! We are grateful for the hay,...
Happy show retirement to our beloved Ed!

Welcome Arsaces (“Archie”)! He is a 13-year-old purebred Arabian gelding. He earned many national and reserve national championships in the hunter pleasure division during his career. Archie is owned and loved by Kendall Carkhuff. We are so grateful that she is sharing her special boy with us. Stay tuned for more updates on Archie. For now, we know he loves his hand walks around the property, cuddles, and taking in his new California views!

Even after Cassie & Marbles and Tater & Tot’s antics yesterday, everyone managed a spot on the nice list. 🤪🎅🏼 They are all resting today, some from causing trouble, others from being hardworking elves all year long. We couldn’t do it without you all. Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays! ❤️

Our hearts are heavy, but full of love as we share the passing of a beloved TTR herd member, Famous Amos. In his time with us he touched the lives of 400 girls, 25 volunteers, 18 staff members, 12 board members, and countless visitors. Before joining us, he spent 15 years with his owner Bobbi Stuckenhoff — living and loving his life on 2,200 acres. We are so grateful that she shared him with us. The barn will be much quieter without his braying and feed-time reminders. But, we feel lucky to have all our sweet memories. If you have any memories with Amos, please share them with us.
