At Free Rein Center horses and humans are partners in learning. We capitalize on the human-horse connection as the therapeutic agent in working with individuals and diverse groups of all ages. Our therapeutic programs help children, youth and adults with a wide range of challenges like Autism, Cerebral Palsy, ADHD and others. Participants gain increased flexibility, balance and coordination, enhanced gross and fine motor skills and self-confidence. Our Say Whoa to Bullying Program is designed specifically to work with at-risk youth.
