Take The Reins - Equine Assisted Learning Program

09/14/2022

It is with great sadness and regret that I inform you all that Take the Reins will not be holding sessions for the rest of the year. This decision has been such a difficult one for our team but I am on day 5 of a hospital stay and unfortunately, our whole team has been dealing with health issues this past month. The sad realization we reached is that this is just not our year. We were so looking forward to seeing you all and fully intend on getting back to work next spring, healthy and ready for exciting times with your kiddos at Carmel Equestrian Center! If you are looking to find ride time or lessons in the meantime I would be happy to help you with that! We appreciate your understanding and look forward to seeing you all again very soon! Bucky especially! 🐴❤️

Hi there TTR friends and family!! I wanted to take a moment to apologize for not being active these past few months! My grandmother was ill and passed so I was traveling extensively back to the east coast and then managed to dislocate my hip (super ouch 😣) which had me out of the saddle and barn for months 😭 I had kept quiet trying to figure out how fast my recovery would be before I scheduled any sessions but recovery is still ongoing. I’m doing much better and have started riding again along with PT so I am hoping to be relatively good as new by August 🤞🏻
Big News!!
We are excited to announce our new location- Carmel Equestrian Center!
This beautiful facility offers new equine partners as well as mini horses and donkeys! We can’t wait to have you all there! Message me if you have any specific questions, otherwise I will update you with session dates starting in August!
Thank you for your patience! It’s been a hectic and difficult year so far for this Momma and I so appreciate all of your support!
(Bucky says hi!!)

I had a long night with a teething infant and the kind of worries that only plague us in the wee, sleepless hours. I was tired and stressed starting my day, but I was lucky enough to sneak off to the barn for a quiet ride alone. I am so grateful that I have this place and this horse. I hope that everyone finds something in their lives that brings them this peace and comfort on their best and worst days ❤️

Connecting with a horse builds relationship skills in people with ADHD — and helps patients feel comfortable in their skin.
