Mustard Seed Ranch (MSR)

REINS provides horses, facilities, volunteers and staff for MSR to run equine-assisted psychotherapy sessions at the ranch, giving foster and displaced youth a place to heal from trauma and embrace a healthy future. These sessions provide a unique scenario where a mental health professional utilizes the horse as a tool to implement connectivity and strategies for coping. This program serves children 12 and older who have experienced trauma, displacement and/or are in foster care.

Zak's House

REINS offers our services to Zak’s House residents going through drug/alcohol detox/rehabilitation under supervision of a medical and mental health professional, with transportation and group oversight provided by their staff. Together we aim to combat mental health challenges that often coincide with addiction. The residents participate in a 90 minute equine-assisted session once a month. During the session the horse provides a powerful bio-feedback tool and helps the client regulate their emotions.

Mental Wellness Programs

Experiential, equine-assisted programs designed to support emotional health, resilience, and personal growth.

Our Mental Wellness Programs offer a flexible, hands-on approach to improving well-being through meaningful interaction with horses. Whether you’re an individual seeking personal support or an organization looking to provide impactful experiences for your clients, we tailor each program to meet your goals.

Who It's For

We work with a wide range of participants, including:

  • Individuals seeking support for stress, anxiety, or life transitions
  • Residential and in-patient treatment programs
  • Behavioral health and recovery groups
  • Youth and adult group programs
  • Care teams looking for experiential, non-clinical enrichment

No prior horse experience is needed.

Program Options

Group Experiences

We partner with organizations to host structured group sessions on-site.

These experiences are ideal for:

  • In-patient and residential treatment programs
  • Recovery and rehabilitation groups
  • Team-building with a therapeutic focus

Sessions are designed to encourage connection, communication, and emotional awareness in a safe, engaging environment.

Individual (1:1) Sessions

One-on-one sessions provide a more personalized experience, allowing participants to work at their own pace and focus on specific goals.

Common areas of focus include:

  • Anxiety and stress management
  • Emotional regulation
  • Confidence and self-esteem
  • Life transitions and personal growth

Our Approach

Our programs are based in Equine Assisted Learning (EAL)—a ground-based, experiential model where participants interact with horses without riding.

Horses respond authentically to human behavior and emotion, offering immediate, honest feedback. This creates a powerful opportunity to:

  • Build self-awareness
  • Practice healthy boundaries
  • Improve communication
  • Develop trust and confidence

All sessions are facilitated by trained professionals in a safe, supportive setting.

Flexible & Customizable

We understand that every individual and organization has different needs.

We offer:

  • One-time experiences or ongoing programs
  • Custom session goals aligned with treatment plans or personal objectives
  • Adaptable group sizes and formats

We collaborate closely with referring professionals and organizations to ensure each experience is meaningful and effective.

Why It Works

Experiential learning creates lasting impact. Instead of only talking about change, participants actively practice new skills in real time.

Many participants experience:

  • Increased emotional awareness
  • Reduced stress and anxiety
  • Improved social connection
  • Greater confidence and clarity
