From the Founder
From the founder: Step away from the noise of the daily grind and reconnect with what matters—no phones, no distractions—just the steady rhythm of the horse, honest work, and real conversation. In that space, brotherhood is built, fellowship is lived, and a deeper sense of connection and community takes root. - Vinnie Congedo
Meet the Founder
Vinnie founded Iron Reins Fellowship after witnessing the profound impact of shared horsemanship on men's mental health. His vision is to create a structured 12-month brotherhood where men rebuild their confidence, reconnect with nature, and enhance their lives through the discipline of the horse.
After a short stint in the military, years of First Responder volunteering, and corporate leadership, he maintains more drive to give back in service and in brotherhood-- recognizing that men often carry a quiet, unrecognized and neglected struggle that can be remedied through faith, service and fellowship.
Our Mission
Iron Reins Fellowship exists to strengthen men through faith, brotherhood, and purpose — building a community where men can find support, healing, accountability, and the courage to lead themselves and others well.
Forged through faith and brotherhood.
Mission Statement
Iron Reins Fellowship exists to strengthen men through faith, fellowship, mentorship, and community engagement by providing a supportive environment that promotes mental and emotional wellness, personal growth, accountability, and purposeful living. Through brotherhood-centered programs, service, and shared experiences, we strive to help men build resilience, restore connection, and positively impact their families and communities.
Vision Statement
Our vision is to cultivate a strong and enduring brotherhood where men are empowered to lead lives grounded in faith, integrity, service, and compassion. Iron Reins Fellowship envisions communities where no man faces life’s struggles alone, and where authentic connection, mentorship, and shared purpose create lasting generational impact.
I have witnessed the profound impact the equestrian environment can have on individuals with all types of struggles, coming from all backgrounds. We are looking to create an environment where others can come to learn, heal, and serve together-- ultimately, to heal and strengthen community. As a former service member and volunteer first responder, I am intimately aware of the types of challenges and struggles men face in this realm and hope to help mend and develop others in this world.
