Our mission at Emerald M Therapeutic Riding Center is Hope, Renewal, and Growth, the meaning of the emerald gemstone.

Through equine-assisted therapies, we strive to bring hope into the lives of the people we serve, provide them with a renewed sense of self, and give them an opportunity for growth.

Emerald M provides services to children aged 2-18 who may be in the foster system, recently been adopted, in the throes of cancer treatments, or recovering from those demanding treatments, battling debilitating physical conditions, coping with physical or emotional trauma, experiencing social, emotional, and learning challenges, or the child of an active-duty member of the military or disabled veteran. Ultimately, they are children, many without a voice.

We currently serve children from nine surrounding counties.

At Emerald M, we seek to address the misconception that children with unique abilities are unable to contribute to society; that children in the foster system are broken and that instead of being an asset, research points to them being a statistic. We provide a space where they are not judged, where they feel safe, where their strengths are enhanced, and where they feel confident. We meet our participants, their families, and caregivers where they are and give them the tools they need to rise above their circumstances, recognize their capabilities, and find their purpose.

We rely on the generosity of our donors and supporters for our operational expenses (keeping the horses fed, the practitioners happy, and the lights on).

We sincerely thank you for your support!
