OUR

Story

Healing Reins of Kentucky Inc. is the result of chasing a dream, filling a need, and having a facility available to do both.

In her decade as a professional riding instructor, Stacy Denton was simply ready to stop saying “no” to everyone who inquired about equine assisted  therapy lessons.

Stacy felt an overwhelming desire for many years to give certified lessons to special people who needed horses in their lives, but simply could not afford the cost of riding lessons along with the cost of conventional therapies.

Healing Reins of Kentucky was created from the vision of Stacy’s dreams.
