More about this center
About the Program
According to its website, Reins to Recovery was founded in March 2008 to promote the physical, psychological and social well-being of people with disabilities, using a team of a horse, an instructor and volunteers. The site says therapeutic riding lessons are for all ages and abilities and lists conditions including autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, multiple sclerosis, brain injuries and visual impairments.
The site says its EAP and EAL programs are a collaborative effort between a licensed therapist and an equine specialist. It also lists addiction and recovery and case management intervention programs, with details available by phone. The Columbus newspaper The Republic reported plans to work with Columbus Regional Health's outpatient program for adults with substance use disorders. Read more about equine-assisted psychotherapy.
The Horses and Facility
The center's About Us page profiles a herd of full-size horses and miniature horses, including Quarter Horses and Haflingers. Some are owned by the center and some by individual owners. The website notes a classroom funded by a Columbus Regional Health Foundation grant, and a report on Jackson County REMC's October 2024 volunteer day describes employees cleaning the center's indoor arena. The website appears dated, so details may have changed.
