VIRGINIA — Reinvention. Relocation. Renewal. 🔥🐴
After serving more than 3,300 participants from 2012–2025 in the great state of New Jersey – this year Spring Reins of Life is beginning a powerful new chapter in Central Virginia.
Following two unexpected shutdowns — first in 2020 and again in 2025 due to frozen funding — we were faced with closing our doors. Instead, a longtime supporter of SRoL’s Operation Horse (Veterans programming) invited us to join him and expand onto a beautiful farm … in Virginia.
On September 4, 2025, Syriana (15 years of service), Junior Mif (10 years), and our three Donkeys – Edith, Gloria and GusArchie made the 302-mile journey south to explore new pastures.
Miss Molly remains in New Jersey surrounded by a few close friends, and 2 veterans whom she is quite attached to. And She is currently featured in a documentary of her story by a filmmaker from Rutgers University — stay tuned!
🌿 Join us for our first Virginia Open House / Demo Day
Sunday, June 7 | 1–4 PM | Near Charlottesville (if you are local, see our website / social media for details)
We help veterans, women, adolescents, and children in trauma recovery find inner peace and coping skills — without having to “talk about it.”
We’re also honored to participate in our 5th year participating in the Horses for Mental Health Campaign during Mental Health Awareness Month in May 2026.
And fittingly, 2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse. We have one — Syriana, our only remaining founding horse. Since we opened our gates to clients she has helped thousands reconnect with their truth. A redheaded strong-willed, dramatic, opinionated, forward moving thoroughbred mare! Who is highly sensitive, intuitive, honest, anxious and silly – we bask in the glow of your flame.
Virginia, we are here to help! Let’s go. 🔥

Whenever involved in a fundraiser for Spring Reins of Life, as the cofounder have always made a donation. No matter how poor I am at the moment or how much personal sacrifice has been DONATED to SRoL. It is a heart based mission and I became addicted to witnessing miracles to where the dedication is beyond normal. It can become destructive. YET, If I cannot make a donation to my most important “cause” then its hard to ask others to do the same. Join me, match me, its the minimum, or even less. Thank you!!!!
