Taking the Reins Los Angeles

Taking the Reins’ home is a 100-year-old barn located near Griffith Park in the Atwater Village neighborhood of Los Angeles. We’ve transformed this 2.5-acre site into an urban barn with horses, an organic garden, and a Learning Center for programs and classes. This beautiful farm is nestled under the trees and bordered by the soon-to-be revitalized Los Angeles River. Taking the Reins offers a rural setting to urban girls just minutes from their day-to-day city environment.

Taking the Reins inspires at-risk girls to act with courage and confidence through experiences with horses, as well as providing hands-on Natural Science instruction for the children of greater Los Angeles.

Come join us for our monthly tour, held every Second Saturday of the month from 10:30am to 11:30am! See the facilities, learn about Taking the Reins’ programs, and meet the people and animals that empower girls in Los Angeles.
