Meet the Horses
Meet the wonderful horses of Reins of Life, each bringing their own unique personality and skillset to the arena!
Would You Consider Sponsoring a Horse?
Our horses provide exceptional care and experiences for our clients here at Reins of Life. Would you consider sponsoring a member of our herd; providing a child with therapeutic care year-round?
Our professional team of horses offers a unique set of skills as they work directly with the children and teens that we serve! Horses provide unmatched hands-on learning and therapeutic experiences.
It costs $900/year ($75/month) to maintain each of our 14 horses. Our miniature horses cost $400/year. Would you consider sponsoring one or more of our horse friends for 2025!?
