We had the best time at this event connecting with new families, saying hello to familiar faces, and working alongside other wonderful organizations to provide a safe and fun night for friends with disabilities and their families! 💫

Alongside our friends at Still Waters Refuge, LLC we introduced many new people to the joys and benefits of equestrian and sensory activities. Many left excited to spend more time with horses! 🐴

Thank you to the Calvert Marine Museum & Calvert County Parks and Recreation for hosting and we can't wait for the next one! 💚

Interacting with horses is extremely beneficial; it can provide a sense of calm, boost self-esteem, and provide a community of fellow equestrian lovers! We offer horse riding lessons, trail rides, and easy horse experiences for all ages, abilities, and experience levels. Jagger can't wait to spot you at Greenwell!

Happy Earth Day! 🌎🌱

Thank you to our wonderful group of volunteers from the College of Southern Maryland & Nonprofit Institute at CSM Day of Service for helping us prepare our site for spring programming!

They cleared out 4 full trash bags worth of invasive English Ivy from one of our field trip sites and helped prep our kayaks for the spring season.

Thank you for helping us take care of the land so the students, veterans, first responders, and so many other people can enjoy it!
