Special Alert
Thank You Dr. Kovner!!
For the past four years, Dr. Vic Kovner has served on the REINS Board as a Director. In his short tenure as a Board Member he gave so much of himself and expected so little in return. He believed whole heartily in our Mission and was on a steady course to help fulfill our vision of becoming a leading Therapeutic Riding Program in the United States.
Sadly, Dr. Kovner passed away December 12th after suffering a massive brain hemorrhage. However, his accomplishments while serving on our board cannot go without mention. Vic, being an avid horse lover, understood how these wonderful animals served as our tool to help the disabled community. Growing up on a ranch, he also understood how work intensive it is to run a ranch. With that said, he along with his devoted wife Donna, made sure REINS was here to stay. They proceeded to find a donor to pay off our mortgage and also build us a hay barn and repair our bridge, which is the only access to our facility.
For me, Vic’s most defining quality as our Board Member was his ability to put our Mission first. He had that deep and abiding passion for helping people, all people. His approach was pragmatic and filled with love.
So Vic, on behalf of all of us here at REINS, thank you for your knowledge, wisdom and all you have done to improve the lives of people with special needs through therapeutic equestrian activities. REINS is a better place because of your skilled and dedicated service.
You will be sadly missed.

Students and Parents – Rider Info
CALENDAR OF RIDING: REINS holds classes on a daily basis (Monday – Saturday). During times of rainy and stormy weather or extreme heat, classes will be canceled. Please call if you are unsure whether or not to attend. Also, REINS closes for all major holidays and takes a Spring Break, Winter Break and Summer Break (month of August). Please pay attention to the this website, the white board at REINS, our newsletters and yearly calendar for upcoming closed dates.
PROGRAM FEE POLICY: The monthly fee is $90.00. Fees should be paid by the end of the month. Please deposit your payment in the black fee box outside the office door. The monthly program fee you are asked to pay only covers about 40% of the actual cost of the lessons. Therefore, two to three times each year you may be asked to help with a fundraising project. Funds raised through these projects are used only to ensure that the program will continue to operate. We hope you will help with these projects when the opportunities present themselves.
To enroll in our program, please download the Rider's Packet and fill out the forms completely.
