Southern Reins Center for Equine Therapy's mission is to serve individuals with physical, cognitive, and emotional disabilities and hardship by providing equine-assisted services to empower, inspire, nurture and succeed. In the greater Memphis area, there are 322,690 residents with disabilities age 5-64 who have the opportunity to benefit from equine-assisted services offered by Southern Reins Center for Equine Therapy. We are the only equestrian facility in the area that exclusively serves individuals with disabilities and hardship in our community. We have adapted the traditional approaches of working with and learning about horses so that our participants can feel the wonder of the connection between horse and human. The positive change we see in and out of the arena drives our passion to celebrate the ABILITY of each of our participants. Working with horses, our program offers children and adults a unique combination of sport, recreation and education in a safe and nurturing environment. Participants are able to turn struggle into success as they build strength, develop confidence, and learn riding skills that translate to improvements in their overall quality of life.
