It’s that time again! Our EFP clinician training is back!

With the amazing feedback from our Winter Cohort, we are excited to be back offering a 3 day immersive training at Painted Oaks Academy in Orlando this May.

Equine therapy certifications can be expensive & time consuming - so let this be your starting point!

After this training, clinicians will have the knowledge and competency to utilize EFP in their practice and create a great foundation to pursue official certification in the future 🐴

Only 10 spots available! They tend to fill up quick so register today: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/spring-efp-training

Registration cost is also tax deductible ✨

This completely free event is family friendly and meant to raise awareness for mental health and how other modalities, like EFP, exist and can be game changing for so many ✨

So many things to look forward to, like delicious food, fun tunes, yard games, animal interactions, and a special raffle in honor of our favorite therapists, the horses! 🐴

Stop by the gazebo at 6pm for a quick intro to EFP and our work at Life Reins and a chance to meet some of our team face to face 🤠

Another Meet the Herd segment for our Howey therapy horses - everyone meet Meadow! 🐴

Meadow is sassy, a little bossy… and she knows it. 👑

She’s the kind of horse who isn’t afraid to take up space, communicate clearly, and let you know exactly where she stands.

And that’s exactly why she’s so powerful in the work we do.

Meadow helps clients explore assertiveness, boundaries, and self-trust — showing that it’s okay to have a voice, to say no, and to stand confidently in who you are.

Around here, we like to say… we can all learn a little something from Meadow. 😉🤎

There’s something about this space…

The quiet. The openness. The way it invites you to slow down.

This is where healing begins 🐴

We have an exciting announcement to make! We’ve officially welcomed our new Treasurer to our Board of Directors 🎉

Julia Montagnet is an incredible human who has been so supportive of our mission and has fought along side us throughout our journey. It only felt right to make it official 🐴🤎

We’re back with our Meet the Herd series! ✨

🐴 Everyone meet Shiloh

One of the most handsome (and sweetest!) members of the Howey-in-the-Hills herd 🤎

Shiloh is always the first to greet you at the barn, welcoming everyone with his calm presence and love for attention. If you’re nearby, chances are he’s already made his way over for some pets.

Horses like Shiloh remind us how powerful simple connection can be — being seen, being welcomed, and feeling safe enough to just be.

We’re so lucky to have him as part of the Life Reins family. 🐎

Last month our Co-founder had the opportunity to talk about equine therapy as a segment on Orange TV-Orange County, Florida with the Victim Service Center of Central Florida🐴🤎

You can check out the full segment on Youtube at: https://youtu.be/lA3hMVZ1im4
