She’s here… Gracie has officially arrived! 🐴💙
We are beyond excited to welcome this sweet girl to New Beginnings Therapeutic Riding. Gracie has already settled in and we can’t wait to introduce her to our riders and let her begin making a difference in so many lives.
A very special THANK YOU to Kathy & Rick Chapman for once again trusting us with one of her horses. Her generosity means the world to our program—donating not just one, but TWO incredible horses over the years. That kind of support is truly something special.
We’re so grateful, and we can’t wait to share Gracie’s journey with all of you. Stay tuned for more updates as she gets to know her new herd and her new purpose!
Welcome to the family, Gracie! 💙🐴

We are so incredibly grateful to Kathy Chapman for her continued support of New Beginnings Therapeutic Riding 💙
Years ago, Kathy generously donated Sabe to our program—and now she is blessing us again by donating another wonderful horse, Gracie, who will be joining us THIS week!
It truly means so much to us that she believes in our mission enough to share not just one, but two of her horses with the people and families we serve.
Gracie is 22 years young and brings with her a gentle spirit we cannot wait to share with our riders. We are so excited to welcome her into our herd and introduce her to everyone in the program!
While Gracie will be an amazing addition, we are still actively looking to purchase a younger horse that can grow with our program for many years to come.
If you feel led to help or would like to donate toward this need, please visit:
Kathy shared these kind words about New Beginnings: “ She loves having a job. For this reason I offered her to New Beginnings when I learned they needed another horse. I know she will love it there. They take excellent care of the horses and she will love being with Sabe again. I hope she will love her job there and make many people happy like Sabe does. ”
Thank you again, Kathy, for trusting us with your incredible horses and for being such a meaningful part of our mission. We can’t wait for everyone to meet Gracie! 🐴💙

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month 💙
At New Beginnings Therapeutic Riding, you’ll see blue ribbons around our farm this month. Each one is a reminder of something we believe in deeply — protecting children, giving them a voice, and creating a safe place where they can grow, heal, and just be kids.
Every day, we have the honor of watching children build confidence, trust, and courage on the backs of our incredible horses. For some, this is more than just a ride — it’s a step toward healing, a moment of peace, and a chance to feel safe and strong.
We are passionate about protecting children not only in our program, but in our community. Every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and loved.
💙 If you see a blue ribbon, let it remind you to speak up, stay aware, and stand together for our children.
Together, we can make a difference.

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.
Recreational activities for individuals with disabilities are very limited in our community.
