How Still Waters Refuge Began

Christi’s lifelong work with and love for both horses and people led to her volunteering for and eventually helping to run a large PATH-certified therapeutic riding center in Pennsylvania. As she saw the miracles that happened in so many people’s lives through a connection with horses, she decided to pursue a clinical therapy degree in order to broaden her ability to help people make their lives better.

The idea of opening an equine-assisted therapy center of our own started taking shape several years ago, but it wasn’t until we visited Southern Maryland to see the spot that would become our farm that we knew we had found the perfect place. The quality of the facilities, the serenity of the property, and the peace we felt being so close to nature … it was exactly what we were seeking to bring Still Waters Refuge to life.
