Dear Friend,

I am writing to invite you to support Reins of Rhythm, a 501c3 non-profit, for-impact, youth outreach organization, by providing a donation of a gift card or tickets/passes to be used for an online silent auction, taking place on Aug 21st, 2023. 

All proceeds will go to help support our mission of bringing hope, healing and happiness to youth in the area through the power of horses- all lessons, events and community educational programming we offer is subsidized through our fundraising efforts, to ensure it is affordable and accessible to all.  We are a volunteer run, non-profit organization, 501c3 (EIN # is 45-529644) founded in 2008, with a mission of providing an inclusive environment to local young people by joining able-bodied, special need, and disadvantaged youth in a shared love and appreciation for horses as athletes, companions, and therapy partners. We provide positive, life changing activities that help youth build friendships, confidence, social skills, and many other benefits. 

Some participants use our services specifically for therapeutic purposes and others use the horses to help build confidence, self-esteem, focus, attention span, and teamwork skills. We use the horses to help bridge that all too common gap and barrier that society has created between special need and able-bodied children teaching them to work together and focus on abilities. Our most recent addition to our program is Horse Powered Learning where we take the horses out into the community to parks, therapy centers, libraries and schools to engage, inspire and enrich learning experiences through experiential, hands-on learning with the horses. 

Auction sponsors will receive recognition on our Facebook page and our

We thank you for your consideration of supporting this program and our local youth. If you require a receipt for your tax-deductible donation to Reins of Rhythm, please let us know and we will be happy to provide you with one. 

Items can be mailed to:
