Founded in 1990 by Diane Hopkins; Ron, Dorothy and Matt Evans; Angela and Mary Litterilla; and a wonderful Arabian mare named Tana - the seeds of a therapeutic riding program were planted. Beginning in 1990, M.A.R.E. held premier accredited center status through the North American Riding for the Handicapped Association which became PATH Int'l. M.A.R.E. is currently a member center in good standing with PATH Int'l (Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship).
