Rein in Cancer Since its inception in 2007, Rein in Cancer has raised tens of thousands of dollars for supporting ca The response has been overwhelming.

After funding the Shirley Bowman Nutrition Center at the Charles and Peggy Stephenson Cancer Center in Oklahoma City (which it continues to fund) Rein In Cancer, the Oklahoma-based 501-C3 Corporation, began providing direct financial assistance to cancer patients who are part of the performance horse community. It was a new direction for the organization, which had previously raised the funding to create the Shirley Bowman Nutrition Center at the Charles and Peggy Stephenson Cancer Center in Oklahoma City through the efforts of co-founders, Shorty Koger, Tracie Anderson and Cheryl (Magoteaux) Cody. Although the organization continues to provide operating support for the Nutrition Center, its new focus became direct payment to patients being treated for cancer. In a year, Rein In Cancer has funded 80 patients in 32 states and Canada. All recipients have been members of the American Quarter Horse Association, the National Reining Horse Association, the National Reined Cow Horse Association or the National Cutting Horse Association. Funds have been raised 100% through activities supported or hosted by equine industry events. Included in the long list of horse-related activities where Rein In Cancer funds have been raised are Re*****on Park Betting on a Cure, the National Reined Cow Horse Association Snaffle Bit Futurity, the National Reining Horse Association Futurity, the All American Quarter Horse Congress, the National Reining Breeders Classic, the March to the Arch, the Arizona Sun Circuit and the American Quarter Horse Association World Championship Show. Added to that list are countless cuttings, ropings, barrel races, and other horse shows from a variety of disciplines. Tracie Anderson noted, โ€œRein In Cancer will continue to raise funds for this patient assistance. The need is real โ€“ especially for people going through treatment who still have to buy horse feed!โ€

Cheryl (Magoteaux) Cody added, โ€œWhen a family goes from two incomes to one or when one income is reduced and the expenses of treatment are so high, a little boost can sometimes make all the difference. It is because we hear from recipients who tell us how much the payments help, that we are so appreciative of the people in the horse industry who have contributed.โ€

Rein In Cancer has no employees โ€“ only volunteers - and over 97% of money contributed goes directly to the advertised causes. For information on how to contribute or how to host a fundraiser at an event or set up a bequest, visit the Rein In Cancer web site at www.reinincancer.com.

This October, weโ€™re proud to support Rein In Cancer through our Grab & Goยฎ to Give campaign. ๐Ÿ’—

Created from a deeply personal experience with cancer, Rein In Cancer has grown into a nonprofit dedicated to supporting individuals and families facing cancer while bringing the Western and equine communities together around the cause.

And this story is especially meaningful because it comes from within our own horse community.

On Tuesday, October 6th, weโ€™ll release our podcast episode with legendary cowgirl of Shorty's Caboy Hattery and Rein in Cancer co-founder, Lavonna โ€œShortyโ€ Koger on the Beyond the Barn podcast. Be sure to tune in to hear the personal story behind Rein In Cancer, along with the influences in her life that have made her who she is today.

Until then, go find some pink bales and wear your support with some limited edition designs with all net proceeds donated to Rein In Cancer and our other four incredible nonprofits that are making a difference for those impacted by cancer - https://www.standleeforage.com/promotions/grab-go-give/ ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿด

Rein In Cancer was built on a simple belief โ€” we take care of our own.

Rooted in the Western and performance horse community, Rein In Cancer supports individuals and families facing cancer, helping ease some of the financial burdens that come with treatment.

Itโ€™s a mission that reaches far beyond the arena and represents what the Western way of life is all about: community, compassion, and showing up for one another when it matters most.

Scott Hulme has stood in the corner of a lot of people over the years. Now, it is our turn to stand in his.

Scott is facing a major battle with cancer, and Rein in Cancer has created a way for friends, family and the western community to donate directly to him as he begins treatment.

Even with insurance, cancer brings medical expenses, travel costs, lost work and countless unexpected expenses. Every donation can help ease that burden and allow Scott and his family to focus on the fight ahead.

If you would like to help Scott, you can donate here:

Please keep Scott and his family in your prayers.

In the midst of busy schedules, long days, and lifeโ€™s challenges, itโ€™s important to remember to take care of YOU.

Self-care can look different for everyone. Maybe itโ€™s taking a quiet moment, spending time with your horse, getting outside, connecting with friends and family, or simply giving yourself permission to slow down and breathe.

For those facing cancer, caring for yourself is especially important. You donโ€™t have to wait until youโ€™re exhausted to give yourself a little grace.

๐ŸฉทThis month, we encourage you to make yourself a priority. ๐Ÿฉท
Take a moment.
Take a breath.
Do something that fills your cup.

And remember, you are never alone. The Rein In Cancer community is here to support, encourage, and remind you that your well-being matters.

โ˜€๏ธ August is National Wellness Month ๐Ÿฉท

When you're facing cancerโ€”or supporting someone who isโ€”it's easy to put your own well-being on the back burner. This August, we want to remind you that taking care of yourself is essential.

Wellness doesn't have to mean making big changes. Sometimes it's simply:
๐Ÿฉท Taking a short walk outside
๐Ÿฉท Staying hydrated
๐Ÿฉท Getting enough rest
๐Ÿฉท Choosing nourishing foods
๐ŸฉทSpending time with loved ones
๐Ÿฉท Taking a moment to breathe and be present
๐Ÿฉท Asking for help when you need it

Every small step toward caring for your mind, body, and spirit matters. Progress isn't measured by perfectionโ€”it's measured by showing yourself the same compassion you so freely give to others.

At Rein In Cancer, we're committed to supporting the whole person throughout their cancer journey. This month, let's make wellness a priority together.
