Following a Dream

For founder and Executive Director Jackie Wikane, Hope Rising Farm is the fulfillment of a lifelong dream. Jackie founded Hope Rising Farm in 2017, with little more than some land, an old barn in need of some “TLC” and three of her own horses.

Since then, we have renovated the barn’s interior, more than doubled our stable of horses, fenced in a new riding arena, and continued to check off the list of smaller items that add up to richer experiences for all. Most importantly, the wonderful cadre of volunteers continues to grow, as they are the life blood of our riding center.
