Equine-Assisted Therapy

Equine-assisted therapy offers profound benefits for physical, mental and emotional challenges by using horses' natural movement and sensitivity to human emotions as therapeutic tools. Horses provide immediate, honest feedback without judgment, creating a powerful mirror that helps develop self-awareness, practice emotional regulation in real-time, and build confidence through successful interactions. This approach allows people to process difficult emotions non-verbally, stay present and mindful (as horses exist only in the moment), and form trust in a safe environment, often creating breakthroughs faster than traditional therapy alone.

Boarding

With incredible equestrian facilities for year-round riding and training, rolling pastures and wooded trails, this is one of the premier boarding facilities in Southern Maryland. We offer professional daily care for your horse.

The impressive 14-stall barn offers hot-water wash stations and an automated insect control system in each stall. The attached 72x200’ lighted indoor arena with its dust-control watering system, combined with an equally large outdoor arena and multiple paddocks and pastures, offers plenty of space and flexibility for any number of equestrian pursuits. The tack room, observation room, and feed storage area are all climate-controlled.

Events

The beautiful country setting, nestled on the banks of Saint Leonard Creek, offers versatile indoor and outdoor spaces for events large or small. Come see how this gorgeous working farm provides a refreshing escape from the ordinary.
