When I was younger, I was obsessed with anything horse-related, but as I got older I started being influenced to follow trendy styles, and I lost that true spark in me and soon became a different version of myself. Then, when I found this program, I remembered that little girl inside me who lit up when she saw a horse and longed to be a cowgirl.

My son, Austion, passed away 10 years ago. He was 18, and it has been a long journey. It wasn't until I joined Bridle Up Hope that I truly found peace.

I truly believe Bridle Up Hope saved me, to be the best mother and woman I can for my children and most importantly for myself. I am proud to say they helped me become more hopeful, confident, and resilient. And there are not enough words to describe how grateful I am to have found them.

I am so thankful for the Bridle Up Hope program! I've been trying to develop hope and find resources of hope for many years. Honestly, I doubted I could find lasting hope from the Bridle Up Hope program, but being desperate for finding hope I gave it a chance… and I'm so glad I did!

What do you do when everything seems to be just falling apart? That’s the question I didn’t have the answer to back at the beginning of January. I felt alone, I was struggling with goals for the future, I was having a hard time with friends, I was losing hope… then my mom found this amazing program, Bridle Up Hope.

I’ve come to see that every horse has a different personality, and there’s something powerful about the way they carry themselves: strong, graceful, and steady. I began to realize that strength isn’t always loud, and I wanted to mirror those same qualities in my own life.

It all started out with me being 13 and not knowing where I stood in life or what group I felt comfortable enough to be around. My biggest dream was to have a horse and ride just like Amberley Snyder and have a story that is just as amazing as hers.

To every 14-year-old girl facing difficulties, insecurities, and challenges—I want you to know: you will overcome. The strength you need is already within you, and the Bridle Up Hope program helps you unlock that power.
