Everyday, Miracles

Thousands of children and adults have  gained a renewed enthusiasm for  life after climbing aboard a horse.

MTRA provides the opportunity for youth and adults challenged by physical, mental or emotional disabilities to take advantage of the extraordinary physical and psychological benefits of horseback riding. The rhythmic motion of the horse has been proven as a powerful tool to improve strength, coordination, flexibility and balance. MTRA’s therapeutic riding program has been witness to autistic children uttering the name of their horse, wheelchair-bound individuals walking for the first time after a riding session and thousands of children and adults who have gained a renewed enthusiasm for life after climbing aboard a horse.

These are just a few of their stories…
