How did you learn about/begin at Reins?

Frowns that turn into smiles, whispers to shouts, improved core strength and balance... I love seeing riders progress.

With a Bachelor's of Science in Healthcare Administration from Indiana University (Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoosiers!) and 4+ years as a team member for a large hospital system, I think I bring a new prospective to ROL.
