TUMALO, Ore. (KTVZ) -- On Saturday, Healing Reins Equine Assisted Services held its 26th-annual 'Diamonds and Dust' fundraising gala, welcoming in hundreds of guests and raising tens of thousands of dollars for the nonprofit.

The nonprofit is home to 27 horses and serves around 200 people per week, meaning fundraising is crucial to keep the program running.

"Our mission statement is to heal with horses. And we do that in a number of different ways,” Development Director Darrion Cotroneo told KTVZ News in a recent interview. “We provide adaptive riding lessons. We have a ‘Heroes Horsemanship’ program, which is specifically for veterans and first responders. And then we offer physical therapy, occupational therapy, and we have an on-site mental health clinic.”

Healing Reins is a proud partner of KTVZ's '21 Cares for Kids' program.
