At MARE Riding Center, our staff shows up 365 days a year, rain, heat, weekends, holidays, you name it. They care for our incredible herd and help create the moments that change lives.

Because of them, riders find confidence, veterans find peace, and families witness something that feels a lot like a miracle… one stride at a time.

To our amazing team:
Thank you for the early mornings, the muddy boots, the late nights, and the endless heart you pour into this work. The impact you make is bigger than you probably realize.

Why Horses? 🐴🤍

Horses offer something truly unique in therapy. Their movement is rhythmic, consistent, and multi dimensional, making them powerful partners in physical, occupational, and speech therapy through Hippotherapy. In a single 30 minute session, a horse can provide an average of 3,000 sensorimotor inputs, helping riders work toward functional goals in a highly effective way.

Beyond movement, horses are incredibly attuned to emotions and behavior. In equine assisted programs, they naturally reflect what they sense, giving riders immediate feedback that supports awareness, connection, and meaningful emotional growth.

This is why horses are at the heart of the work we do at M.A.R.E.
