Learn About Maryland Therapeutic Riding and Our Herd
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. Our 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.
