Rhythm of the Rein is a theraputic riding and driving program in Marshfield, VT. Our program serves a vulnerable population consisting mostly of children and elderly, many of which have medical issues. Please help us protect them by donating so that we may purchase an Automated External Defibrillator (AED).

An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a portable electronic device that automatically diagnoses the life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias of ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia in a patient, and is able to treat them through defibrillation, the application of electrical therapy which stops the arrhythmia, allowing the heart to reestablish an effective rhythm.

With simple audio and visual commands, AEDs are designed to be simple to use for the layperson, and the use of AEDs is taught in many first aid, certified first responder, and basic life support (BLS) level cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) classes.

This invaluable piece of equipment has the ability to save lives should an emergency arise. With the number of visitors and volunteers we have at the farm daily, we want to make sure we are doing our very best to take care of those who donate their precious time.
