I saw a child who couldn’t walk, sit on a horse, laugh and talk…I saw a child who could only crawl, mount a horse and sit up tall… saw a child born into strife, take up and hold the reins of lifeJohn Anthony Davis

THE STORY BEHIND RHYTHM OF THE REIN’S LOGO

When we began offering services at the start of this century, one of our most memorable riders became the inspiration for our logo. This little three-year-old boy first came and started by meeting the horses, safely held in his dad’s arms. After thirty minutes of meet and greet with every horse in the barn, the  boy was introduced to his first horse to ride, Golden Heiress. Dad gently slid him onto Heiress’s back and stepped away. Blood curdling screaming threatened to bring the arena down. Dad plucked him off. A bit more holding and petting the horse, and dad popped him on again. This time he bolted. Left with a howling child, we looked at each other and said, “What do we do? Lets walk.”

With that very first step the crying stopped. A big smile spread across his face, staying there the entire lesson!

We appreciate the trust dad had in our instincts. He certainly had a good idea it would turn out well. This amazing boy took part with us for a long time. I connected with his family a few years ago and it thrilled me to hear he was a sophomore in college now! He is the perfect example of the benefits of “the Rhythm of the Rein.” He was a joy to have in our barn and an amazing ambassador for the great work our program does.
