Here's some more pictures of our lovely riders, volunteers & instructors! A couple of the horses even wanted to get involved. Dusty sure makes a pretty cute Scooby Doo.

Costume week at the barn never disappoints! From ponies to peanut butter & jelly, we’ve had it all. Our riders, volunteers, and staff really know how to bring the Halloween spirit to life! 👻🐴💜

🐴 Field Trip Fun at the Barn! 🐴

On October 22nd, we had the pleasure of welcoming Rockfield Elementary for an educational field trip! 🎒✨

Over 80 students, parents, and teachers joined us for a fun-filled day of learning across 8 different stations. Students discovered:
🌈 Horse colors and markings
🪶 How to groom and the tools we use
🪶 How to safely mount and why helmets matter
🪶 How to guide a horse with reins
🐎 Barrel racing and pole patterns
📖 A special storytime session
🎯 And even got to pretend to be horses during a game of Red Light, Green Light!

It was an amazing day full of smiles, learning, and laughter — thank you, Rockfield Elementary, for spending the day with us at New Beginnings! 💚

🧽✨ Fresh Look for Our Grooming Bays! ✨🧽

Over the years, the boards in our grooming bays have been used for educational displays, inspirational quotes, and helpful information for our riders and volunteers. After lots of love (and plenty of barn dust 🐴), they became worn and hard to keep clean.

I'm sure you've noticed it looks sad & plain back there without them. 😢

We’ve found the perfect solution — fleece-lined tablecloth covers! These can easily be wiped down and will help keep our spaces clean, fresh, and professional looking for everyone who visits.

If you’d like to help us refresh the barn, these tablecloths and other much-needed items are available on our Amazon Wish List! 💛

Every purchase helps us make New Beginnings a better, brighter place for our riders, volunteers, and horses! 💕

🌾 Pick a Day, Lead the Way! 🌾

This November, we’re giving you a fun (and meaningful!) way to support our herd — Pick a Day & Donate Hay! 🐴💛

Here’s how it works:
📅 Choose any day in November
💵 Donate the dollar amount that matches the date!
(Example: November 7 = $7, November 25 = $25, etc.)

Every dollar helps provide hay, care, and support for our incredible therapy horses and riders. 🐎❤️

You can donate by cash, check, Venmo, PayPal, CashApp, or Zeffy!

Together, we can fill this month with kindness — every day, every bale, every act counts. 💛

Our Story

Equine Assisted Therapies to individuals (ages 5 and up to adults) with behavioral, emotional, mental, and physical disabilities in Warren and surrounding counties through the power of horses. with behavioral, emotional, mental and physical disabilities.

NBTR is a non-profit 501c3 that relies on donations, grants, and fundraisers to operate on a day to day basis. Our goal is to strengthen the minds, bodies, and souls of individuals by providing a recreational outlet that has therapeutic benefits. The responsibility of riding and caring for a horse encourages self-esteem, confidence and coordination. The aim of our program is to see positive changes in the riders physically, emotionally and spiritually.

NBTR is one of four PATH Intl. (Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International) Premier Accredited Centers in Kentucky and the only one West of Lexington. This means that NBTR has reached or exceeded the standards to ensure we are providing the best quality and safest atmosphere possible to individuals with disabilities. PATH Intl. has been in existence since 1969 and has studied and researched its standards, precautions, and contraindications to horseback riding and allows accredited centers to use this information to ensure safety and qualified services.

NBTR began in 1997 with three students, three horses, and 20 volunteers and to date have served over 900+ students in Warren and surrounding counties with over 11,000 volunteer hours. We can accommodate more individuals because we can have classes indoors and when the weather is nice we can go outside in a large outdoor horse arena or a tree lined trail that was cleaned up by a local Eagle Scout, which is now our sensory trail.
