A big thank you to Garman Brothers, Inc., for donating replacement fence boards to MTR.

Strong, secure fencing is essential for keeping our horses safe and maintaining a calm environment.

Garman Brothers, Inc. is a family-owned and operated sawmill located in Crownsville, MD. They manufacture and sell rough-cut industrial lumber, mulch, firewood, and sawdust.

We’re so grateful for your support of our herd and community 🐴

Angel's Friday Funday Floof.

Ever wonder what horses do on their time off? Angel is out here living her best life trotting and cantering on the big field.

Angel's forelock floof says it all. It's not just flying in the breeze, it is performing.

The What’s, How’s, and Why’s of EAP

Trust doesn’t happen all at once, it’s built in the quiet, consistent moments where safety is felt, not just promised. 🤍

At MTR, our mental health services begin with creating an environment where participants can show up exactly as they are. Through steady routines, predictable interactions, and the grounding presence of our horses, safety becomes something you can feel in your body.

From there, trust begins to grow.

And with trust comes connection—connection to self, to others, and to the world around us.

This is the foundation. This is where healing begins.

The What’s, How’s, and Why’s of EAP

Starting therapy can be the hardest step.
Questions, uncertainty, and fear of judgment are common.

In equine-assisted psychotherapy, horses respond without judgment.
They meet us as we are, not as we think we should be.

And so, to start, all that is necessary is to show up and be, and the horses will meet you there.

Kelly and Linsey recently traveled to Crestview, FL to attend the EAGALA Intensive Skill Sets Training.

This hands-on experience deepened their ability to facilitate meaningful, ethical, and effective Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) sessions—strengthening skills in observation, collaboration, and creating space for powerful client breakthroughs.

We’re excited to bring this advanced training back to our participants and continue growing the impact of our EAP program.

While the horses enjoyed a well-earned break, our team stayed busy preparing for the spring session.

Our Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) teams came together to refine skill sets and ensure sessions are facilitated using best practices. Instructors also collaborated on teaching strategies to better support participants with a wide range of learning needs to support development.

We’re incredibly grateful for a dedicated, collaborative staff that continually works to enhance the quality of services at MTR.

Points if you peep Ruth in on the action 🤣.
