"Born" in the fall of 2000 on top of See Off Mountain - just south of Brevard NC - Free Rein Center offered its first class in the spring of 2001. Many things have changed since then - people, horses, and even locations - and the best things about horses helping humans heal have gotten better, too.

As our programs - and the number of people served - grew, we moved "down the mountain" and entered into a mutually beneficial partnership with Rockbrook Camp for Girls in 2011. Leasing the camp's equestrian facility and using horses from Rockbrook and other local summer camps has worked very well for all parties.

Since moving to Rockbrook, we have increased the number of individuals served and added new programs to serve local schools and Transylvania Vocational Services (TVS), a private, non-profit dry food manufacturer based in Brevard. TVS employs a high percentage of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
