Maryland Theraputic Riding (MTR) is dedicated to helping individuals find overall wellness and mental wellbeing in their lives through the therapeutic powerof horseback riding. We strive to improve the quality of life of children, adults, active military, and veterans with special needs. 

MTR’s services support our mission by connecting human and horse to help conquer physical, developmental and emotional challenges and improve quality of life. In addition, we provide a community of support for parents who often feel isolated when dealing with illness or disability.

The horses selected to be part of the team at MTR must undergo a rigorous 90 day trial during which they are tested for suitability for the program. Their horses are physically, mentally and emotionally fit and engaged in continuing their education and training with highly qualified riders. Moreover, we invest in keeping them healthy through holistic and traditional health care, through play, turn-out and dressage training, and happy with a balanced work/play/rest schedule.
