Reins of Life - Therapeutic horseback riding

❤️ Thank You! ❤️

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to support the Reins of Life Driving Show last Sunday! We are so grateful for our participants, families, volunteers, staff, sponsors, and everyone who joined us to cheer on our amazing team.

We are incredibly proud of our students and all they have accomplished. Their hard work, determination, and smiles made the day unforgettable! And our equine partners just rocked it!

Thank you for helping make this event such a success and for supporting our therapeutic carriage driving program. We couldn't do it without this wonderful community. We look forward to seeing you at our next event! 🐴💙

For the month of July both Kabelin Ace Hardware locations in Michigan City will be rounding up for Reins! We appreciate the support of our local communities and the other organizations and businesses that call them home!

Reins is hosting our 5th Annual Driving Fun Show this weekend!

It is free to come watch so we hope to see lots of folks here to cheer on local horse owners from our community who will be here competing alongside many of Reins of Life's students and volunteers.

The event is being held at our Michigan City Facility and will start at 10:30 Central Time on Sunday.

Concessions available to purchase.

Hello Friends,

This event is designed to bring families together, not only for the trust information, but also to hear from some of our local service providers.

What's for dinner tonight? 🤔If you're still asking that question, we've got the answer! Dinner tonight is covered!

Dine in or order takeout from Bonefish Grill in Mishawaka anytime throughout the day, and they'll donate 10% of your check to Reins of Life. It's an easy (and delicious) way to support our programs and the individuals we serve.

Just be sure to present the event flyer when dining in or ordering takeout so your purchase counts toward the donation.

Good food, no cooking, and supporting a great cause? That's a win-win-win! See you there!

We had such a fun morning with a group of amazing kids! Thanks for coming to learn more about our amazing equine partners and all that happens at Reins of Life!

This photo, and so many others that we use on our website, on Facebook and in printed materials, was taken by one of our very talented volunteers who puts her talents to use for Reins of Life in a bit of an unexpected way.

If you have a special talent or skill that you would like to include in your volunteer efforts for Reins of Life please let us know the next time that you talk to us.

Examples of such skills that some of our volunteers have shared to help support the programs at Reins include skilled embroiderers who help us by putting the names of our horses on their personal saddle pads, quilters who have made special quilts for our annual fundraiser, gardeners who have helped maintain and beautify our facilities, etc.

We look forward to learning about your talents that you may like to include in your volunteer efforts!

Did you know that Reins of Life works with several different area schools throughout the year to provide programming for their students? South Central shared this picture from yesterday, their last visit of the 2025-2026 school year.
Looks like everyone was having a good time!
