Striding Towards Greater Independence | 2023 3rd Annual Hoofin-It 5K Race | Reins of Life, Inc.  | South Bend, IN 

On your mark, get set, GO! Run for children and adults with disabilities at the annual 'Hoofin-It' 5K at the Reins of Life, Inc. in South Bend, IN on September 9th, 2023. Run or walk along the 24 acres of horse pastures and 10 acres of wooden trails to a finish line you'll remember. All registered 5K runners and 5K walkers will receive a race tee and registration packet; along with ribbons and awards for top placements on site. See full list of award placements listed below.

Stride through pastures & wooded trails on foot ! Every step you take is a stride towards greater independence for the children and adults with disabilities that take part in ROL programming. 

Benefits of Equine-Assisted Services are available to children and adults with almost any disability. For individuals with impaired mobility, horseback riding gently and rhythmically moves their bodies in a manner similar to normal human walking, which can assist with improved muscle tone and muscle memory.  For those with learning disorders, mental or emotional disabilities, the unique relationship formed with a warm, soft, friendly, responsive horse has special healing values.  We see them mature from self-conscious children to confident members of society. The community benefits from the socialization and communication skills and their improved health that allows many of the riders to become productive members of the workforce.

Through our programs we partner with many local organizations including school systems of South Bend Community School Corporation, Success and Career Academies, Michigan City Area Schools, South La Porte Special Education and many others. The goal is to improve educational outcomes for students in danger of failing academically and help with overall engagement. Our alternative education support program offers a new method of learning that brings to life tactile experience that directly integrates learning objectives identified by the Indiana Department of Education.

Help us celebrate the resilience of our riders, programs and organization; as well as, continue to reach new community members, reduce stigma towards persons with disabilities and support our clients’ journeys and goals.
