Angie's Story

I'm Angie's mom, and she's a part of the Free Rein family. Every class at Free Rein gives participants confidence, joy, and connection. This year, we are raising $1000 to help keep these programs running and accessible to everyone. 

She has been riding for about 4 years, and she loves every minute of it.  She has been able to progress so much that she can now ride without any leaders helping her around the courses.  She uses sign language to communicate since she is only able to say a few words. Since she has been riding though, she is able to say more words, like "whoa" and "go."  She is also working on her communication with the instructors/volunteers and working on her non-verbal communication with the instructors, volunteers, and the horses.  Angie has sensory issues and is very afraid of bugs, but when she is riding horses, she does not have any of these issues.  Riding always calms her and give her peace.

Your support will help cover classes, instructor certifications, volunteer training, and horse care - everything that makes Free Rein's programs possible. 

Even a small gift goes a long way: $30 helps welcome a new volunteer (or two!), $75 funds a full class for one special rider, and $125 covers a month of hay for one of the heroes in the herd. 

Please join me in reaching our goal and making a real difference in the lives of all involved!
