Reins At Saddleview Inc

Reins is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to providing a healing space for emotional recovery and empowerment for both humans and horses. A reciprocal healing model, we serve women & girls, without financial means, to access equine assisted psychotherapy and equine assisted learning through our scholarship program. Reins frequently partners with established mental health organizations, as an impactful and unique, equine extension for their clients. Our goal is to maximize positive reach in our community, that would not otherwise be reached. Because equines are sentient beings, they provide humans a non- threatening mirror of our own emotional state. They are an incredible healing partner and the foundation of equine assisted psychotherapy (eap) and equine assisted learning (eal). The equine becomes a catalyst and metaphor to bring the client's clinical issues to the surface, eliciting a range of emotions from the client (klontz, et al., 2007).
