Founded in 2010, Hope Reins is Kim’s heartfelt response to her childhood
marked by abuse and trauma. Seeking love amid familial
alcoholism, Kim found solace in her loyal horse, Country, sparking her
journey of hope and healing. Now, at the 38-acre Hope Reins ranch
in Raleigh, North Carolina, Kim’s team has empowered more than 3,000
children to discover hope and healing alongside 18 rescued horses, with
all services provided free of charge.
The ranch gained national attention in 2018 when volunteer Jennifer
Bleakley penned the best-selling book “Joey,” narrating Hope Reins’
origins and the transformative role played by its blind Appaloosa horse
in helping children heal.
Kim has been featured in various national publications including Focus
on the Family, and has been a guest on podcasts such as Nothing is
Wasted, Treasured Ministries, and Grace Enough. She recently appeared
on PBS’ Side by Side with Dr. Nido Qubein. In 2020, she received the
Triangle Business Journal’s Women in Business Award recognizing her
as a dynamic leader in business and community service. Kim lives in
Raleigh with her husband Michael, two kids, Chance and Isabel, and
three dogs.
