“IN RIDING A HORSE,
WE BORROW FREEDOM”            
Helen Thomson

Since 1999 Healing Reins Therapeutic Riding Center has been connecting riders with special needs to horses with special gifts.  The riders are diverse.  They come from different backgrounds, have different needs and dream different dreams. Some are physically disabled, others mentally challenged.  Still others need a way to reconnect with a world that seems to have forgotten them. All are joined by a common experience – the joy of independence, the freedom to fly without wings, the connection of hand to rein, skin to coat, heart to beating heart.

The tie between horse and healing is clear.  Healing Reins Therapeutic Riding Center, a non-profit organization, provides therapeutic riding experiences to children and adults with physical and emotional challenges. Its staff of North American Riding for the Handicapped Association (NARHA), registered instructors and dedicated volunteers match the right horse to the right rider.  They enhance the rider’s physical function, improve self-esteem, and ultimately unite two kindred spirits. 

The horse isn’t just a ride, however.  It is the bridge from, “I can’t to “I can”, powerlessness to strength, the link that makes it possible for two spirits to run free and countless hearts to soar.

Healing Reins Therapeutic Riding Center, healing with joy, trust, hope...healing with horses.
