🌸 We’re off and running into Spring Break! 🐎💨

Just like our horses, we’re ready to stretch our legs and enjoy a little break!

New Beginnings will be CLOSED April 6th–10th for Spring Break.

We’ll be back refreshed and ready to ride on Monday, April 13th!

Until then, enjoy this sweet moment of our horses running in — we think they’re just as excited for a little break as we are 💕

Today, the New Beginnings team had the opportunity to attend an incredible PMA luncheon, and we are leaving feeling inspired, energized, and ready to grow! ✨

We had the privilege of hearing from Jessica Heffinger of Glory Baby Ministry and Nick Newbould of Highlight, LLC on the topic of “Marketing Without a Marketing Budget.”

Their message truly hit home for us.

They shared how powerful authentic storytelling, meaningful connections, and strong community relationships can be—without needing a big budget.

As a nonprofit, this couldn’t be more relevant to what we do every day at New Beginnings. 💙

We are so excited to start putting these tools into action—building deeper connections, sharing our story more intentionally, and continuing to grow our mission so we can reach even more riders and families in need.

Thank you to the organizers and speakers for pouring into organizations like ours. The impact goes far beyond today!

Stay tuned… big things are coming for New Beginnings! 🐴💫

Why horses?

Horses provide something traditional therapy often can’t.

The movement of a horse helps riders:

• strengthen muscles
• improve balance
• build coordination

But the emotional connection is just as powerful.

A 1,000-pound animal that chooses to trust you can change the way someone sees themselves.

That’s the magic behind therapeutic riding at New Beginnings Therapeutic Riding.

Please share in the comments what meaningful connections you or your loved ones have made with our horses! We love to hear your feedback.

Who do we serve?

Let us tell you about our riders!

Our riders are incredible.

At New Beginnings Therapeutic Riding, we serve individuals with:

• Autism
• Anxiety and emotional challenges
• Physical disabilities
• Developmental delays
• Medical needs

Some riders come to build physical strength.
Some come to build confidence.
Some come because a horse is the first place they feel understood.

Every rider has a different journey, but the impact is always powerful.

Our Story

Equine Assisted Therapies to individuals (ages 5 and up to adults) with behavioral, emotional, mental, and physical disabilities in Warren and surrounding counties through the power of horses. with behavioral, emotional, mental and physical disabilities.

NBTR is a non-profit 501c3 that relies on donations, grants, and fundraisers to operate on a day to day basis. Our goal is to strengthen the minds, bodies, and souls of individuals by providing a recreational outlet that has therapeutic benefits. The responsibility of riding and caring for a horse encourages self-esteem, confidence and coordination. The aim of our program is to see positive changes in the riders physically, emotionally and spiritually.

NBTR is one of four PATH Intl. (Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International) Premier Accredited Centers in Kentucky and the only one West of Lexington. This means that NBTR has reached or exceeded the standards to ensure we are providing the best quality and safest atmosphere possible to individuals with disabilities. PATH Intl. has been in existence since 1969 and has studied and researched its standards, precautions, and contraindications to horseback riding and allows accredited centers to use this information to ensure safety and qualified services.

NBTR began in 1997 with three students, three horses, and 20 volunteers and to date have served over 900+ students in Warren and surrounding counties with over 11,000 volunteer hours. We can accommodate more individuals because we can have classes indoors and when the weather is nice we can go outside in a large outdoor horse arena or a tree lined trail that was cleaned up by a local Eagle Scout, which is now our sensory trail.
