Maryland Therapeutic Riding (MTR) is a non-profit organization located between Baltimore and Annapolis, Maryland on a beautiful 25-acre farm. Utilizing certified instructors, licensed therapists, volunteers and specially-trained horses, we offer high-quality horseback riding programs to open new pathways of healing for children and adults with a wide range of physical, mental, and emotional challenges.

Therapeutic Riding is a treatment for rehabilitating a range of physical, mental, and emotional disabilities. PATH certified instructors use the horse as an instructional tool to teach riding skills and reach individualized goals and objectives. Conditions served include: cerebral palsy, spina bifida, neuromuscular disorders, post-traumatic brain injury, autism, ADHD, and cognitive disorders. Riders see an overall improvement in their quality of life. They experience improved self-confidence, strength, balance, coordination, attention span, and language and social skills.

Founded in 1996, MTR's year-round programs include both traditional Therapeutic Riding as well as Hippotherapy and specialty programs. Hippotherapy is a highly structured, one-on-one therapy session under the guidance of an occupational, physical or speech therapist. Horses for Heroes is a specialty therapeutic riding program for veteran and active duty U.S. military wounded warriors and injured community-service personnel and their family members. Horses for Hope is a specialty therapeutic riding program for women in need of emotional assistance. Instructor, Hippotherapy and recreational riding training is also offered. MTR is a Premier Operating Center accredited by the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International (PATH) as well as a British Horse Society accredited program.

Please use this form to contact us and we will get back to you as soon as we can. For volunteering or riding, please use the contact us form on the About Us page.
