Sharing the Power of Horses as Teachers
COVID-19 Statement:
After careful consideration, and in compliance with current State and Federal guidelines, Reinbow Riding Center has decided to suspend program services until further notice. The health and safety of our riders, staff and volunteers’ is our top priority.
Please check this website or follow us on Facebook or Instagram for additional information.
Reinbow Riding Center is hoping to be able to offer limited safe programing by this summer, but it depends on what federal and state guidelines require us to follow. Everything is up in the air except we miss your smiling and energetic presence and are keeping our fingers crossed that we will be able to do something this year. Many organizations are doing fund raisers now, but we have decided to wait to begin any major campaign for now. (If you did feel a desire to donate at this time, please feel free to do so through our regular avenues on our website or mailing a check to RRC, PO Box 395, Shrewsbury, VT 05738). It is unclear whether our major annual Summer Palooza fund raiser will happen in its traditional format. We may try a virtual fund raiser on-line, so please keep checking back to our sites for information. We are planning on doing our Annual Appeal in October. We feel we will have a better sense of our needs for next year at that time. We are fortunate in that we have a contingency fund that will cover the necessary expenses this year. We are working on developing some fun activities that one could do on-line to help stay connected. We do work with a challenged population and these are particularly challenging times for many. We are quite concerned and want to help everyone stay healthy. Please keep checking in with our social media sites (Face Book, Twitter, Instagram and our Webpage) for the latest updates. If you have any questions please reach out to either Mary Jane at 802-259-2282 or Lynn McDermott at 802-492-3406. If you haven’t given us your email address, please do so by either calling or direct messaging us. Your emails will allow us to share activities and news!

Reinbow Riding Center is located high in the hills of Shrewsbury, Vermont where our open fields, trails and riding facility overlook the beautiful Green Mountains. Since 2008, the Center has been providing a therapeutic riding experience for riders starting at the age of three through adulthood.
RRC is a member of PATH (Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship), an international organization. We provide highly certified instructors and a dedicated staff of volunteers.
Therapeutic riding provides a wonderful growth experience for children and adults with special needs or at risk teens. On horseback or unmounted, therapeutic horsemanship helps students of all ages and abilities overcome their own limitations whether they are physical, emotional or social. Our programs can help them gain self-confidence, a sense of accomplishment and allow them to achieve a freedom of movement they may not have experienced before.
Perhaps Winston Churchill said it best, “There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man.”
At Reinbow Riding Center we tailor our programs to each student’s needs. The calming warmth experienced in the presence of horses and ponies often opens the door to beneficial communication between students and their equine partners and in turn instructors and volunteers. This begins the process leading to successful interaction with the world at large and is a valuable tool in our desire to improve the every day lives’ of our students.
Organizations such as, Special Olympics, United Cerebral Palsy, Easter Seals, the U.S. Veterans organizations, American Physical Therapy Association, Muscular Dystrophy Association, Spina Bifida Association, Mental Health and Mentoring Programs, and programs for at risk children have recognized the benefits of therapeutic horsemanship.
