MTR on the Road 🚐🐴
We loved visiting Millersville Elementary School to celebrate the kindergarteners finishing up their farm unit!

MTR ambassadors, Splash, Basil, and Sage created space for thoughtful questions and helped us share how horses and goats support people of all abilities through equine-assisted services.

We’re grateful for the opportunity our MTR on the Road program gives us to connect with the community and share how equine-assisted services support healing, growth, and connection. 💚

We’re excited to share that another story was featured in .intl Strides Fall 2025. This one comes from Joan Chevalier, the sister of longtime participant Charlie, who has been riding at MTR for over 10 years.

Joan writes, "When Charlie first arrived at the farm, he avoided contact with people, as he was fearful of new situations. He made no attempts to communicate despite knowing some sign language and being able to make some sounds. Ten years later he is a different person."

She continues, "Through structured lessons, Charlie has learned that his choices matter and that he can communicate with his horse in ways that build trust and confidence. Over the years, he has grown calmer, more self-assured, and more sociable."

Charlie’s journey is a beautiful example of how horses, skilled instruction, and a supportive community come together to help participants grow in confidence, independence, and joy.

We’re excited to share that our Program Manager, Linsey Erar, recently authored an article for PATH Intl. Strides, the award-winning publication of .intl

In “Teaching the Dressage Training Scale to Teenagers,” Linsey highlights how using the dressage training scale in adaptive riding can foster confidence, empathy, and meaningful connection, especially for teens navigating independence and relationships. Through intentional communication with their horse, participants discover that their voice matters, and they develop agency and confidence.

At MTR, this connection helps young riders gain confidence and the skills to make a positive impact in and beyond the arena.
