Reining Potential

Reining Potential of Texas is a Nonprofit (501-C3) program that provides therapy services using equine movement and animals to help children with special needs meet their full potential. Reining Potential of Texas is the dream of Dr. Zapf; sparked from her passion of helping children and her love for horses, animals, and nature. With the support and passion from two dedicated mothers of children with Autism, Keather Patternson and Jerrica Zarella, and the compassionate hears of Amy and Jay Reynold, Reining Potential was born. Reining Potential fo Texas is a place where children with special needs have the opportunity to develop skill s and gain confidence through the use of occupational therapy services and equine movement, paired with the power of unconditional love and experienced through caring staff and horses. Dr. Zapf believes in the healing power of animals and nature and believes that children can thrive in the natural setting. The program is supported through financial fees for therapy services and donations to help offset the program cost for families, so their children can participate in the therapeutic activities without financial burden.
