Why Horses?
Horses provide a unique and transformative partnership for learning and personal growth. Our horsemanship programs are thoughtfully crafted to deepen the horse-human connection fostering healing, trust, and the enhancement of relationships.
Heroes Horsemanship Program
Takes place on Friday afternoons from 12:30-2:00PM at 65325 Cline Falls Hwy in Tumalo, Oregon
What to Expect:
Discover leadership and communication through the eyes of a horse. This non-riding group class offers veteran participants an opportunity to develop essential horsemanship skills including haltering, grooming, leading, and routine care. The focus will be on cultivating a safe, positive partnership with your horse while exploring what it means to collaborate as true partners. Classes meet once a week with each session highlighting a different theme integral to building a strong connection with equines: context, care, communication, connection, and collaboration. Upon completion, you’ll have the chance to invite family and friends to meet your equine partner and learn more about the Healing Reins experience.
Fees:
Healing Reins is proud to offer Heroes Horsemanship sessions free of charge to First Responders, Active Duty Military and Veterans.

Meet our Healing
Herd of Horses
The equine members of our team are hugely important to us and are chosen very carefully. The ideal therapy horse is sound and unflappable, with a been-there-done-that attitude. Our herd members have had careers in dressage, high school equestrian teams, trail riding, ranch work, and more. Miles and experience add up to the quiet, assured horses our participants need.
