Horses Helping Humans Heal
|



At Free Rein, horses and humans are partners in learning. Free Rein
instructors, volunteers, and horses help children and adults with
autism, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, physical limitations
and a wide range of other disabilities enjoy such benefits as
increased flexibility, balance and coordination, enhanced gross and
fine motor skills, improved posture and self confidence. Free Rein
also offers courses for adults and children on such themes as
spirituality, grief and confidence-building. Free Rein is an affiliated
member of the North American Riding for the Handicapped
Association (NARHA), which also certifies our organization’s
experienced instructors.
Our program utilizes the human-horse connection as the therapeutic
agent in working with diverse groups ranging in age from childhood
to senior citizen status.
While a variety of therapeutic riding programs have grown up around
the Western North Carolina area, Free Rein is the only program of its
kind in Transylvania County. Free Rein lesson fees are kept low to
assure participation by all who might benefit, and scholarship
assistance is available to all who qualify. Free Rein is a 501.c.3
nonprofit organization.
