SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS DUE BY AUGUST 30
Through the generous support of donors who contribute to our Scholarship Fund, we are grateful to offer a limited number of full and partial scholarships for the upcoming Fall Session.

Scholarships are available to people with disabilities and financial hardship, and our Scholarship Committee reviews all applications for need and merit. Scholarship applications must be completed in full for consideration.

Applications can be emailed to kendall.christian@southernreins.org.
The scholarship application deadline is Monday, August 30, 2021.
In honor and in remembrance of one of our most beloved volunteers, the Nick Vergos Memorial Scholarship Fund was created to provide full scholarships for people in the special needs community who would not otherwise be able to participate in our program due to financial need.

Nick led a mission-driven life to give back to others. With passion, enthusiasm, warmth, humility, and joy, he touched the lives of many, and his legacy lives on through contributions received to share the healing power of horses with people who need it most.

You can inspire change and make a world of difference for people with disabilities here in the Mid-South with a contribution to the Nick Vergos Memorial Scholarship Fund.

One time or recurring donations can be made to honor Nick, recognize a family member or friend, memorialize a loved one, or pay tribute to someone who has changed your life.
MEET ZEKE

We are thrilled to announce the addition of a new, handsome Quarter Horse to our herd! Zeke completed his 60-day trial with flying colors, and he is already a favorite around the barn with his gentle demeanor and loving spirit. At 15 hands, he is the perfect size for the majority of our adaptive riding program participants and veterans who take part in our PATH Intl. Equine Services for Heroes program.

Welcome Zeke!
