Bridle Up Hope

Help Us Build Confidence, One Connection at a Time

Your gift creates a place where girls and women can discover their strength, build confidence and find connection through horses, nature and community. By supporting our programs and scholarships, you help make these experiences accessible to those who might not otherwise have the opportunity to participate. Together, we can create moments that grow into confidence, resilience and hope.

Our Vision

To be a leading sanctuary for transformative personal development, mindfulness, and lasting emotional strength.

Who do we Serve?

Primary beneficiaries will include girls ages 12+ and women 22+, Low -income or financially constrained individuals will benefit from scholarship funds raised throughout the year. Additional beneficiaries will include children and adults of all ages who want to participate in spending time with the petting zoo animals, gardening/seed to table (salsa), beautifying ranch efforts, participating in horse riding and roping clinics. Primary focus will be Pima County, although applicants from greater Tucson areas and surrounding areas will be encouraged to participate. Also, expecting participants from Maricopa County as well, since we are the only location in Arizona.

Our Goal

Bridle Up Hope/Rico Strong is built on a deep family commitment to operational resilience and community service. We believe in the foundational truth: "When you transform one person you transform generations." We strive to deepen our long-term presence in our community and are committed to serving. In addition, we are serving as a Milestone for Arizona: 1st Bridle Up Hope Location

Pioneering State-Wide Impact: This project introduces the very first Bridle Up Hope location in the state of Arizona. Joining an international network of 18 certified locations, it brings a proven model combining horsemanship and personal growth to the region for the first time.

Setting a Regional Standard: Establishing this model in Pima County positions the area as a leader in innovative, equine-assisted learning and holistic wellness solutions across Southern Arizona. (Goal is to become a Light House Ranch in the future to become a training center as Bridle Up Hope expands nationwide)
