Courage Reins Equine-Assisted Therapies
Courage Reins helps improve the lives of individuals with physical, mental, or emotional challenges through Equine-Assisted Therapy. As a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, the cause has been charitable in nature since its inception. They strive to make their services available to all who seek alternative therapy, no matter their income or ability to pay. Because of this, Courage Reins relies heavily on donations in order to create sponsorships for their riders and offer our services at a reduced price. They are always in need of volunteers and additional funds to continue supporting Utah’s children, individuals, and families.
Ways to help:
• Sponsor a horse • Sponsor a session • Volunteer your time (ages 14+) - groups and individuals welcome
