Hear what families are saying about their Reins & reading experience
“Reins & Reading has been such a blessing for our family. As a parent of a daughter with ADHD, finding something that truly engages her while building her confidence isn’t always easy. Since joining the program, I’ve seen her become more excited about reading, more confident in herself, and eager to participate each week. The combination of horses and reading creates such a unique, calming, and encouraging environment where she feels successful.
Our favorite part has been watching the special bond she has developed with the horses and seeing how much she looks forward to every session. Pam has an incredible gift for connecting with children. Her patience, kindness, and genuine belief in each child makes them feel seen, capable, and valued.
To any parent considering Reins & Reading, I would say without hesitation: do it. This program is about so much more than reading. It’s about building confidence, fostering a love of learning, and giving children a place where they can grow at their own pace in a supportive, judgment-free environment. We are incredibly grateful for the impact it’s had on our daughter and our family.”

Growth Beyond Reading
“I am amazed by the progress my son is showing—not just at Reins & Reading, but at home too. It has been incredible to watch the changes in his attitude and the way he approaches challenges. I’ve even found myself changing the way I work with him because of what I’ve learned through the program.”

Learning Together
“I am amazed at how well both of my kids are doing with Pam and the horses. I’ve even learned new ways to use those reading strategies at home, even without the horses. I love how reading is connected to the animals—it makes learning so meaningful for my children.”

She is truly a blessing to our community.”
