Mane

At MANE, we are dedicated to providing safe and effective therapeutic horseback riding opportunities to children and adults in the Tri-County region. Our mission is to create unique therapeutic rehabilitation opportunities that help improve physical and mental wellbeing. We believe that the bond between humans and horses is a powerful tool for healing and growth.

Our Story

Our journey began with a passion for horses and a desire to help people. We started small, with a few dedicated volunteers and a small group of riders. Today, we have grown into a comprehensive therapeutic riding center, offering a variety of programs that cater to individuals of all ages and abilities. From therapeutic riding sessions to summer camps and birthday parties, we strive to make a difference in our community.

Our Facilities

Our facilities are specifically designed with therapeutic programs in mind. We have a large and small outdoor riding arena, a 15-stall barn with an indoor riding arena and mechanical lift, and a 3-acre state-of-the-art sensory integration trail. Our indoor and outdoor viewing areas provide comfortable spaces for families and spectators. We also have an indoor classroom, meeting room, and office building for administrative and educational purposes.
