Freedom Reins

Freedom Reins
This summer we will be offering a program structured by PATH, Int. called Horses for Heroes, locally called Freedom Reins with the intent to serve OIF and OEF (Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom - Afghanistan) Veterans. The goal of this experience is to increase self-esteem, empathy, and a sense of responsibility through the relationship with the horse. This program will also help improve posture, balance, symmetry and muscle control through the rhythmic movement of the horse, give riders self-confidence through the leadership they exhibit with their mount and encourage a new visual perspective of independence.
