About REINS

The REINS, Regional Equine Information Network System, was established as a program of the North Carolina Cooperative Extension to assist in the education and development of the North Carolina Horse Industry. The program is coordinated by Extension Horse Husbandry at North Carolina State University and participating county extension agents. Through guidance of a coordinating extension agent, horse owners in a multi-county area are organized into a regional horse educational association. These regional associations link together the educational efforts of NC Cooperative Extension, the promotional efforts of the North Carolina Horse Council and the marketing efforts of the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and the sponsorship support of agribusiness contacts.
