Welcome!
Our Mission:
To create and sustain an equine assisted therapy facility where people with disabilities of all kinds can learn, grow and heal.
Rein and Shine is a NARHA (North America Riding for the Handicapped Association) member facility that has been committed to providing horseback riding as therapy to children and adults with physical, mental and emotional disabilities since 2001.
"Rein & Shine and the instructors have had a wonderfully positive affect on Shayla. With her ability to focus her attention on riding skills, interaction with the horses and barn volunteers, she has significantly improved her overall ability to concentrate. The most noticeable improvement is with her balance, stature, and muscle control. What a true blessing the Rein & Shine program is for kids, parents, and volunteers as well."

“When Tate began riding he was basically using the wheelchair 75% of the time and walking with his cane the rest of the time. He seemed to be at level of comfort with this arrangement, but very quickly began to walk more and express more independent movement. Basically, Tate went from being dependent on a wheelchair to walking 99% of the time. The riding freed him to experience new areas of his newfound abilities. With the encouragement of you and your staff, family and friends, Tate has turned a corner in his recovery. I fully credit this to his experience on horseback.”
