Reining Strength Empowers Lives with Horses

Reining Strength isn't just about riding horses—it's about fostering healing, growth and resilience. By leveraging the innate power and sensitivity of horses, Reining Strength offers unique programs that serve the greater Houston area, touching lives in profound ways.

The non-profit provides an array of programs designed to cater to the unique needs of its participants. Whether it’s a child with special needs or an adult exploring alternative therapies, there’s something for everyone. The Adaptive Riding program is a cornerstone, helping individuals build balance, coordination and self-assurance. There is also Equine-Assisted Learning, which emphasizes personal growth and social development.

How does it work? Physically the rhythmic movement of horseback riding mimics human gait, which can help improve posture, balance and muscle tone. This physical engagement offers individuals with limited mobility a new way to strengthen their bodies and gain a sense of independence. For children and adults alike, these physical benefits can translate into greater confidence and improved quality of life.

Emotionally, the connection with a horse can be transformative. Horses respond to the rider's emotions and behaviors, creating a mirror that encourages self-awareness and emotional regulation. This non-verbal communication fosters empathy and understanding, helping individuals navigate their feelings in a safe and nurturing space. For those who struggle with social interactions or emotional challenges, the presence of a horse offers unconditional acceptance and a unique form of companionship that is both comforting and empowering.

At Reigning Strength, quality and safety are paramount. As a Premier Accredited Center through PATH Intl., Reining Strength adheres to the highest standards of excellence in therapeutic horsemanship. This esteemed accreditation signifies a commitment to delivering top-tier services under stringent guidelines. Each instructor is meticulously trained and certified, ensuring they possess the expertise required to support individuals with diverse needs. The center's facilities and practices undergo regular evaluations to maintain compliance with PATH Intl. standards, providing an environment where participants can feel safe and nurtured.
