Our Team

Cheryl Harris

Founder & Co-Director

Cheryl and Steve were foster and contract parents for the State of Georgia for fifteen years, serving mostly teenage girls in their home. As a result of this intensive work, they saw first-hand the shortage of quality intervention programs in this rural area. 

Reins of Life was born out of Cheryl's dream of combining her love for horses and her love for serving children into a program that would benefit both. Cheryl and Steve are certified equine facilitators in Equine Assisted Psychotherapy and received training from O.K. Corral.

Kimberley Scully

Co-Founder & Program Director

Kimberley Scully brings a lifelong passion for horses, leadership, and personal transformation to her role at Reins of Life. With a background in Psychology, Business, and Equine Studies from Asbury University, and a Master’s in Executive Leadership from Liberty University, Kimberley has dedicated her life to helping others grow, heal, and connect—both in and out of the saddle.

She is a certified facilitator through both EAGALA and O.K. Corral, a CHA Certified Riding Instructor, and a trained facilitator in Nieylo Ropes Courses and Outdoor Adventures. As a graduate of Pete Ramey’s Natural Hoof Trimming apprenticeship and a student of renowned horsemen like John Lyons, Buck Brannaman, and Ray Hunt, Kimberley brings deep wisdom and hands-on experience to every session.

Guided by the belief that “every horse needs you to meet them where they are,” Kimberley extends that same grace and intuition to the individuals and families she serves. Whether through adaptive riding, horsemanship lessons, or Equine Growth and Learning retreats, she creates opportunities for healing and personal discovery in a peaceful, faith-based setting.

Kimberley currently leads weekend retreats for families with teens, workplace teams, first responders, church groups, and veterans, as well as one-on-one growth and learning sessions. Her programs are rooted in the power of authentic connection and the healing bond between horse and human.
