Help Some Sisters Out: The First Ever OR Reader Survey

Nearly a year ago, Outside Rein was but a twinkle in our eyes (that was sparked by a particularly rigorous riding lesson in which, “More outside rein!” was heard on a steady rotation).

If you’re a resident of New York City, you might suffer from an affliction that is quite common among your peers: a general reluctance to travel outside of the five boroughs (a.k.a. laziness). We get it. We’ve been there...
