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.
