Emerald M Therapeutic Riding Center

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 those 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 veteran. Ultimately, they are children, many without a voice.

We currently serve children from nine surrounding counties.

At Emerald M, we aim to change the misconception that children with unique abilities cannot contribute to society, that children in the foster system are broken, and that they should be seen as mere statistics rather than valued individuals. We provide a supportive environment where these children are not judged, feel safe, and can enhance their strengths while building their confidence. We meet our participants, their families, and caregivers where they are, equipping them with the tools to rise above their circumstances, recognize their capabilities, and discover their purpose.

We thrive on the unwavering generosity of our valued donors and supporters, whose contributions not only sustain our daily operations but also empower us to grow and enhance our programs. 

We are truly honored to have you by our side and are grateful for your generosity!
