Outdoors would be basic pasture cleanup and maintenance, as well as light repairs. Available times are Saturdays 11am-2pm or Sundays 12pm-2pm.

Spring Reins of Life (Horses, Humans & Healing). Our mission is to provide a safe, healing and empowered pathway to peace for trauma survivors in New Jersey. The assistance of horses on this journey provides options for self-guided recovery in unique ways of personalized coping skills. This is all accomplished without any previous horse experience and without having to "talk about it". There have been more than 3,000 clients through with the Herd since opening our arena gates in June 2012.
Spring Reins of Life (SRoL) is a non-profit 501c3 volunteer-run organization. We are an EAGALA Model program offering Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) incorporating the use of horses for therapeutic intervention toward promoting emotional growth and healing. We do not offer any riding or mounted work in our program and there is no horse experience needed to gain full benefits. The EAGALA model is an experiential, solution focused base that utilizes a team facilitation approach (licensed mental health professional, certified horse expert, and horses (and/or donkeys!) that allows clients to find their own unique best answers to complex and layered trauma based issues.
Animal assisted therapy with horses combines the positive emotional effects gained from the human/horse bond with opportunities to challenge and explore one's thoughts and internal struggles during activities with an equine partner. It is a therapeutic intervention that defeats the stigma often associated with traditional counseling, but more importantly, it is an intervention that works.
Visitors and Volunteers Welcome! Contact us about Group Volunteering. We do have a strict policy of keeping all visits to a scheduled appointment or meeting time. No walk-ins are allowed, this is for your safety, the safety of the horses and the farm - as well as the privacy of our client groups. Thank you for understanding.
