Mission: To provide a safe, healing and empowered path to peace, positive growth and self-guided recovery for those suffering trauma and loss with the assistance of horses as our guides. Spring Reins of Life is dedicated to promoting psychological healing, emotional well-being and personal growth using the skills of mental health professionals and the assistance of horses. For thousands of years, there has been a unique bond between humans and horses, it is our mission to enhance and leverage this bond to reach those individuals who are suffering from the effects of trauma, loss, drug addiction and/or the combined stressors and obstacles set forth by either circumstance or societal confines. Spring Reins of Life is an EAGALA Model certified program which provides EAP and EAL services to moderate/severe trauma survivors (veterans, combat ptsd, at-risk/high-risk teens, bereavement, domestic violence, and more). All of our services are provided for no cost or very low cost based on public and private tax-deductible donations awarded to our programming.

Programs: Spring Reins of Life (SRoL) is a volunteer-run 501c3 public charity operating under the international EAGALA Model. SRoL is located in Central New Jersey and offers EAP (equine assisted psychotherapy) in a group therapy format for trauma survivors utilizing Horses as our catalyst for positive change. This is not about horsemanship, but rather lifemanship. Our work is focused on ground-based interactions with horses under the guidance of licensed mental health professionals and certified equine specialists to provide an alternative and experiential (solution focused) treatment allowing our clients to develop resiliency and personalized coping skills to overcome trauma without having to "talk about it". There is zero riding involved, and zero horse experience is needed to benefit. Come and heal with us in the way of the Horse. Donors, please consider that traditional talk therapy is not always a viable solution for moderate/severe trauma survivors to heal - many do not want to, refuse to, or simply cannot put their experience into words.
