Tara Carlsen wanted to help at-risk students learn without relying on stale, clinical teaching methods. Instead of trying to find solutions in the classroom, the mathematics teacher transplanted failing students from an alternative high school to a horse ranch. There, she encouraged them to reach for the reins, and she witnessed dramatic results. Students who could not relate to their peers or teachers could relate to horses-and suddenly their futures looked a whole lot brighter. Carlsen and her students proceeded to take an inspiring journey, learning the basics of horsemanship through equine-assisted learning-a therapeutic approach to interpersonal development using horse-related activities. After learning the basics, the students taught peers with special needs what they'd learned, drawing upon their own struggles and triumphs to help them achieve success. Punctuated with humor, heartbreak, and hard-won triumph, Reaching for the Reins chronicles the struggles and successes of these students over five years.

Buck and Billy Jo desperately try to leave the valley and start a life together, somewhere else. However, prior to every planned exodus, the local residents beseech them to slay just one more pack of werewolves. Each episode promises to contain the last surviving werewolf. Thereafter, the curse will be lifted and the land shall be set free. Fear prevents the valley people from assisting the shooters. Alone, the deadly duo relentlessly track and hunt the creatures of the night on foot and on horseback. They also travel by boat and by truck. Perseverance drives Buck and Billy Jo beyond the outer limits of human endurance. Heavy losses ensue. Family members, friends and loved ones fall and perish by the wayside. Everything extracts a price, especially victory. The abominations organize and conduct an unexpected night raid on the unsuspecting humans. Tables turn and odds shift dramatically. Cautioned twice, never to fight on holy ground, the werewolf hunters decide to disregard the warning and choose an old abandoned church as their final battleground. Emotions overrule logic. A bloody massacre results from the showdown. The prophecy comes to fruition. Dire consequences flow there from.
