Mission Statement
Therapeutic riding provides education, socialization, recreation and therapy to 78 students in Frederick County each spring and fall at no charge to the participants. The Program, a 501c3 non-profit organization, is in its 30th year of service to Frederick County citizens with emotional, physical and/or mental disabilities. Students ride one hour per week for seven weeks during each session. Each class consists of 6 riders, with classes on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and all day on Saturdays. We also provide a Summer Session, a Winter Session and Saturday mornings and private lessons throughout the year. All of these classes require numerous volunteer supports. Class instructors and physical and/or occupational therapists design specific goals for each student, direct the implementation of these goals, and monitor the progress of the students. Volunteers are a vital part of the implementation of these goals. The Program always welcomes volunteers who serve as Barn Crew, Side Walker
