Our Mission
🕊️ Mission Statement
At Palomino Hope, our mission is to harness the healing power of horses to inspire personal growth and create lasting change. Through the EAGALA model, Horse Powered Reading, and our innovative youth mentorship program, we provide a safe, supportive space where veterans, at-risk youth, and families heal from trauma, build resilience, and develop essential life skills. Guided by our **FAMILY values—Friendship, Acceptance, Mindfulness, Independence, Leadership, and Youthfulness—**we nurture empathy, trust, and confidence, empowering individuals to become compassionate, capable leaders in their communities.
OUR VISION FOR THE FUTURE
🌿 Vision Statement
We envision a future where every person—no matter their age, gender, background, or financial status—who walks into our space finds a place of peace, purpose, and belonging.
Palomino Hope strives to create a lasting sanctuary—a place where healing begins, confidence grows, and tomorrow’s compassionate citizens and leaders are born through the powerful connection between horses and humans.
It is our dream that Palomino Hope becomes a generational program, where the children we serve today return as mentors, parents, and community leaders—carrying forward the same hope, kindness, and resilience that once transformed their own lives.
Our Founders ~ Kim Reiter, Jay and Laurel Greene
The core of our team is made up of people who were brought together by the healing effects of the horse. Now, it is our mission to share this love with children and veterans.
"We have all been healed in profound ways by the soul of a horse. Now we plan on spreading this love with the children and veterans of our community."
