Reins of Rhythm is honored to announce we have been selected by the Pennsylvania National Horse Show as a recipient for a grant in support of our Stable Moments - Fostering Hope through Horses programming! This programing is specifically designed for youth who are in or have experienced foster care.
Volunteers at Reins of Rhythm, have received trauma informed training to equip them to offer specialized, one-on-one mentorship along with equine assisted therapeutic services training that cultivates a unique and powerful connection between horse and child. This bond is empowering, and the horses help to meet vital mental and emotional needs, such as belonging, attachment, safety, boundaries and purpose. Did you know that there are over 15,000 youth currently in foster care in PA, and the many more who have experienced trauma, neglect, grief, and other significant challenges? Reins of Rhythm relies on the support of our community to serve youth who are at-risk and under-served populations in Cumberland, Franklin, Dauphin & Adams counties.
Thank you Pennsylvania National Horse Show for helping enrich the lives of youth through your support of Reins of Rhythm and many other equine non-profits in the Pennsylvania!
Do you know a child(ren) who is in or has experienced foster care? We will have openings with very affordable subsidized session rates starting in April! ENROLL HERE:

💫At Reins of Rhythm we know that when we invest in the lives of children and teens, we have the opportunity to impact their future, which in turns impacts the future of our community! What is poured into their hearts now is what they will carry with them for the rest of their lives. Through the mentoring, therapeutic riding and horsemanship, Stable Moments, and Equine Assisted Learning with Horse Powered Reading we offer, we can give children and teens a listening ear, someone to help them overcome obstacles and achieve their dreams, the chance to ride tall and feel empowered, a chance to learn in an enriching and safe space.
☀️We are a 501c3 nonprofit that is volunteer, and donor driven. Those who give of their time, their funds, their energy - they are our champions! They make it all possible.
Today we celebrate these Champions and highlight those who have already given in support in 2025 though a one-time donation or a commitment of a monthly gift to "adopt" a Reins of Rhythm horse to help off-set their care costs!

Beautiful morning at the farm!
Thank you to one of our volunteers, Connie who captured this serene screen of happy horses grazing this morning at the farm.
Wow, what a wonderful event provided for the community at Hope Church today!
Despite the rainy weather over 100 youth from the community came out for a fun-filled event!
Reins of Rhythm would like to thank and acknowledge the Partnership for Better Health who provided a grant for us to be able to be out in the community at events like these at no charge to the community. Today youth were working on their math skills with the help of Joey and Charlie our resident mini math teacher and discovering ways to fill up buckets with kindness and how unkindness empties buckets with Rose to guide them.
A big thank you also to our volunteers who braved the rain for over three hours to bring all this joy to the community through interactions with the horses!
GiGi is either trying to help clean up the dishes after dinner, or she is asking for a refill. .. which do you think!?
“Snow Much Fun” was had today by the horses. They sure know how to play hard in the snow!
We are so thankful to the creative and generous marketing team at Volvo Construction Equipment North America - Shippensburg office. They selected to support Reins of Rhythm Riding & Horsemanship with their amazing light display at the annual Volvo Lights exhibit in December. Their team got 2nd place, with the help of all of you voting for them, which resulted in Reins of Rhythm getting a donation of $500! Thank you to each member of the team who took part in this, selected Reins of Rhythm and voted in support!
