My Nonprofit Reviews

I became involved with Spring Reins of Life when a loved one was diagnosed with PTSD. I followed his progress as he was treated by the VA. One day he told me about Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) being used to help his fellow veterans. He had attended a session and witnessed the profound effect it had on the group that he watched. I was fascinated that there was this kind of therapy available and it does not involve medications!!!! The clients will perform designated tasks with the horses - no riding involved. The relationship that is established with the horse is so uplifting for the vets. They come away from each session with new feelings and skills for use in their everyday lives.
Similar programs are available for at-risk youth and children in bereavement. The types of exercises vary for each program and are designed to help specific feelings and behaviors. Like the PTSD program, the children will see some immediate results starting in their very first session.
Since this is a 501(c)3 charity, all funding comes from the generosity of people and organizations like you. I give my time as a volunteer. I can't think of a better use for my time than this charity. Your donations will directly help ordinary people in extraordinary situations.
