After certified instructors evaluate each new rider and discuss personal goals with the rider's parents, they develop individual lesson plans and track their progress, meeting with parents on a quarterly basis or as needed. In addition to helping the special needs community, RIM has a weekly two hour program for local veterans, Reins for Heroes.
