SRD (Samantha Rocha- Dyer) Straightening Reins Foundation

 

Straightening Reins is a 501(c)(3) public nonprofit  established in 2011 specializing in equine-assisted and interactive  therapies designed to improve adolescent and teen mental health and  well-being. SRD provides behavioral, educational, and community outreach  services to youth and their families in Los Angeles County.

   

Nestled in the foothills of the Santa Clarita Valley, SRD uses  horse-assisted therapy to promote emotional growth in youth. With easy  freeway access to the ranch, youth interact with the horses, donkeys, dwarf goats, and chickens. The goal is for youth to understand and appreciate  the tranquility and love of our horses and other animals so they can  foster and develop life skills necessary to achieve personal and family  goals.

SRD is Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association (EAGALA) certified and follows the EAGALA Model for therapy.

 EAGALA sets the global standard for Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP)  and personal development and is the leading international nonprofit  association for professionals incorporating horses to address mental  health and personal development needs.
