Leslie Hawk
Founder & Executive Director, Hooves for Hope I've always been drawn to the beauty and spirit of horses, but it wasn’t until I purchased my first horse at age 50 that I truly discovered their magic. That experience changed everything. I witnessed firsthand how horses can heal, empower, and connect us to something deeper within ourselves. Now, through Hooves for Hope, I’m honored to share that transformative power with others—creating a space where people and horses come together to inspire healing, growth, and hope.

Reghyn Lacefield
Horsemanship Coordinator and Social Media Manager - My journey with horses began at age six, rooted in English riding. After a long hiatus and a move to Texas, I embraced Western riding and began competing in Stock Horse of Texas (SHTX) events and local playdays. But beyond the ribbons and arenas, my true passion lies in helping young people who feel lost or uncertain. I believe horses have a unique ability to guide, ground, and heal—and I’m committed to using that power to help youth discover confidence, purpose, and a sense of belonging.
