Our Programs
Group/Community Programs
These programs provide a supportive space for individuals with shared experiences—such as survivors of trauma, youth in recovery, veterans, or first responders—to engage in therapeutic activities alongside our horses. Whether it's a structured weekly series or a one-time workshop, our group sessions promote trust, communication, self-awareness, and empowerment in a uniquely powerful setting. Programs can be customized for partner organizations and community needs across Central Florida.
Individual EFP Services
Our Individual Equine-Facilitated Psychotherapy (EFP) sessions offer a one-on-one, trauma-informed approach to healing in a peaceful, natural setting. Clients work with a licensed therapist and an equine specialist to explore emotional regulation, trust, boundaries, and self-awareness through interactions with our therapy horses. Whether you're navigating trauma, anxiety, grief, or life transitions, EFP provides a powerful alternative to traditional talk therapy—grounded in movement, presence, and nonverbal connection. Sessions are available at all Life Reins locations in Central Florida and are tailored to meet each client’s unique therapeutic goals.
Workshops & Trainings
Our monthly workshops offer a unique opportunity to experience Equine-Facilitated Psychotherapy (EFP) in a supportive, small-group setting. Each workshop explores a specific theme—such as grounding, boundaries, self-compassion, or identity—through interactive activities with our therapy horses. Open to adults and professionals seeking personal growth, healing, or a deeper connection with themselves and others, these workshops are held at our Central Florida locations and are donation-based to keep them accessible. No horse experience is necessary—just a willingness to show up, reflect, and engage.

Trainings are offered in small groups to ensure a personalized and experiential learning environment.
Community Outreach & Engagement
At Life Reins, we believe that healing begins with connection—both in and beyond the arena. Our Community Outreach & Engagement efforts focus on building awareness, reducing stigma around mental health and trauma, and making Equine-Facilitated Psychotherapy (EFP) more accessible across Central Florida. We partner with local schools, nonprofits, and advocacy groups to provide presentations, resource fairs, wellness events, and customized workshops that highlight the power of trauma-informed, experiential healing. By engaging with the community, we’re planting seeds of hope and creating pathways to recovery for those who need it most.
