Reins of Hope

We are honored to serve as Co-Chairs of Chastain Horse Park's Reins of Hope Gala and invite you to join us in making a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals with disabilities in our community.

On Thursday, October 29, 2026, we will gather at the Atlanta History Center for an evening in support of Chastain Horse Park's mission. This year, we celebrate the theme:

Driven by Hope. Powered by Horses.

At Chastain Horse Park, we believe in the profound impact of the human-horse connection. Through therapeutic riding, equine-assisted learning, and interactive horsemanship programs, children and adults with physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges gain confidence, strength, independence, and joy. For many, it is a first sense of freedom. For others, it is a path to healing and renewed possibility.

One horse. One rider. One moment that changes everything.

Reins of Hope is our most important fundraising event. It ensures these life-changing programs remain accessible to all who need them. We urge you to join us as a sponsor and partner-your support is essential to ensuring these transformative programs continue. Together, we can create lasting change for individuals and families in  
our community.

We invite you to join us in an unforgettable evening on Thursday October 29th. Be a sponsor, buy a ticket, spread the word with friends - so many ways to take the reins and be involved in supporting a truly special therapeutic program in Atlanta.

With gratitude,

Whitney Hardwick and Cynthia Widner Wall
