R.E.A.S.O.N, is a non-profit 501-(C)3 equine adoption organization dedicated to providing the first step to a new beginning for all equines. Horses are entered into our adoption program for various reasons. We get horses that can no longer be used for racing, such as horses from Pocono Downs, owners that may be reluctant to take their horse to an auction and even abused and neglected horses have been entered into our program by the S.P.C.A.

We invite you to find out what we are all about and join us for a night of music and entertainment! Get ready to rock on Saturday, July 18, at the New Penny Lounge in Scranton!
