Fourteen years ago, Reinbow Riding Center began in Shrewsbury with the help of our loyal supporters. To date we have served over 1,000 riders, and we’re seeking your help to build our program to better serve our community’s needs in coming years. Our goal is to provide services to all members of our community that benefit from our programs regardless of their income levels.

Through on-going interactions with their horse, our riders display increased self-confidence, physical strength, determination as well as a sense of accomplishment. The calming warmth of their horse opens the door to a rewarding relationship with their equine partners and, in turn, with instructors and volunteers. Horses receive the genuine love of these children in return.

The necessity for our services is ever increasing. We must expand our mental health programs, support healthy family dynamics, and provide additional opportunities for those with significant developmental delays. We must forge new bonds with Education, Speech and Language, Physical Therapy, and Occupational Therapy professionals. Our program needs another instructor as well as additional adaptive equipment in order to keep up with our expanding numbers of riders. Our team of horse companions must grow as well.
