Rose of Sharon Equestrian School provides individuals with disabilities the opportunity to develop basic horsemanship and stable management skills in a uniquely therapeutic environment. The learning is facilitated at an accessible (ADA-compliant) stable located 20 miles north-east of Baltimore. The facility has been designed to be a place of refuge from the challenges often encountered when living with a disability, or when caring for someone who has special needs.
The thoughtful way both the programs and the grounds are being developed serves to provide everyone involved-the students, their families and caregivers, the instructors and volunteers-an environment with the restorative potential to impart a sense of peace while there and a feeling of renewed strength after leaving.

Volunteers
Report
If you have a heart for helping humans and horses, Rose of Sharon Equestrian School may be just the place for you. It often requires as many as three people beyond the instructor to assist our students in reaping the full benefit of what the program has to offer. While experience with horses and/or people with special needs is helpful, it is not required.
