Chesapeake Therapeutic Riding
Boots On!
TEN YEARS OF HEALING AND HOPE
Community Benefit Report 2003-2013
Reflections from Cathy
Dear Friends,
It’s hard to believe it’s been 10 years
since Chesapeake Therapeutic Riding
started as business documents filed with
the State of Maryland. We are now a
dynamic, successful Community Benefit
Organization!
What started as an idea to connect people
with horses—that is people who would
never get to be around horses if it weren’t for
CTR—has served more than 1,000 people
in programming, community service and
employment.
Our staff, volunteers and families have
witnessed children saying their first words
and taking their first steps after participating
in therapeutic riding and hippotherapy.
Our families place their trust in our staff
and volunteers knowing we will provide the
most fun and the safest experience possible
when connecting to our wonderful herd of
healing horses.
We are grateful for the generous support
we’ve received over these 10 years. Without
the support of our community, we would
still be just an idea instead of an exciting
reality.
Your continued support is essential to
meeting our capital campaign commitment
and creating our permanent home at
Oakington in Havre de Grace.
Our new home at will provide opportunity
to better serve populations, such as veterans,
disadvantaged youth and the elderly. We
will be able to expand and enhance daytime programming for school aged children
and companies seeking professional
development options.
The first 10 years have been extraordinary.
Please consider joining us on the journey
through the next decade and beyond!

Gratefully,
Greetings from our Board
Dear Friends, Families and Community
Supporters,
As I reflect on my affiliation with CTR, I
am most awestruck by our tenacity, growth
and impact on the lives of our clients. I
am fortunate enough to have been with
CTR since its beginnings. I came to know
Cathy Schmidt, Executive Director, out
of a common love for horses. From our
first meeting I was drawn to her vision,
passion and commitment to enable others to
experience that horse-human connection.
Since that time, I have seen CTR flourish
and that same passion and commitment
has been passed on to all who CTR
touches. Having the chance to provide
opportunities for our clients to experience
freedom, independence, increased selfesteem, physical movement/improvement,
recreation and fun has truly been life
changing, and it is what drives us to do the
work we do.
As we move forward, I am most excited
about our new home and the public/
private partnership we have developed with
Harford County to build a state-of-theart therapeutic riding center in Havre de
Grace. This facility will enable us to further
grow our program, expand services and
better meet the needs of an ever-increasing
number of individuals, groups and
organizations right here in our community.
Everyone deserves the chance for the best
quality of life possible, and we will work
tirelessly toward that end.
CTR has accomplished so much in the past
10 years. I am most appreciative of the trust
our clients have placed in us and to our CTR
team and our donors and supporters for
their unwavering commitment and vision.
Our first 10 years has provided an excellent
foundation for more great things to come.
Thank you for joining us!
Gratefully,
Na n cy Sp en c e

The Trail to Today
When I founded Chesapeake Therapeutic Riding in
2003, my goal was to connect horses with people who
may never get to be around horses if it weren’t for us.
It’s that basic. And it’s definitely not that simple.
Though the paperwork was in process with the State
of Maryland and the IRS in 2005, CTR still didn’t have
a home. We only existed on paper. It was by chance
and good fortune that I chose to move my horse, (and
CTR’s first therapy horse) Socks to a beautiful
boarding stable in Bel Air, where I knew
she would be well cared for and safe. It
was in September that the owners of the
farm allowed CTR to get started after
hearing about my goal.
We knew we had to grow beyond
four horses (three of which were
borrowed) and six riders for three
hours on Saturday mornings. We were
still waiting for the IRS to grant our letter
of determination and began searching to rent
a horse farm with indoor arena: a search that would
take a year and a half.
In April 2007,
approximately a year
and a half after we
taught our first
therapeutic
riding lessons
and prior to
moving to
Tuckaway
Farm, we
approached
Parks and
Recreation to discuss renting county land for our
operations. The problem was that there were no
turn-key horse facilities available and we would have
to raise all of the approximately $1 million in capital
funds to improve property we wouldn’t own. Not a
very attractive idea for potential funders. Our board of
directors declined the offer.
Starting in September 2008, CTR began five
memorable years at Tuckaway Farm in
Havre de Grace, growing our program to
include hippotherapy (physical therapy
on horseback) and equine assisted
learning and psychotherapy. We
also created Equine Experiences so
that larger groups could learn about
horses and their care. In addition,
we started taking our pony, Sally, on
the road as “The Pony Express”!
In 2010, the current Director of Parks
and Recreation and the County Executive
created an opportunity for CTR that was equitable and
sustainable, so our plans for an eventual permanent
home began to move forward.
Then during the summer of 2013, a local businessman
and philanthropist offered CTR a generous
opportunity to move our operations to his private
farm (rent-free!) in order that we could continue
doing our important work and focus on our capital
campaign towards building at Oakington. We are
most grateful for our present location, even as we look
forward to our new home in Havre de Grace.

...Toni Epstein, Volunteer
Connecting people with horses in a nonjudgmental healing
atmosphere is what we do. Whether a person sits astride
a horse or works with these wonderful creatures on the
ground, there is always opportunity for growth and learning.
We serve our community in a number of specialized ways:
Therapeutic Riding – Mounted activities focuses
the physical and cognitive abilities of people with special
needs in learning to ride
Hippotherapy
– Physical therapy on horseback
that uses the movement of the horse to achieve functional
outcomes in the client
Equine Assisted Learning and
Psychotherapy – Experiential encounters focused
on self exploration and self awareness, through the close
connection with horses in ground based sessions
Equine Experiences – “Horse” keeping
opportunities for groups to learn about horse care in fun,
team-oriented activities involving the horses
Pony Express – Off-site visits with Sally designed for
people who may not be able to visit the farm in order to
receive benefit from the connection with horses
Through these various paths of healing, in 2013 CTR
provided over 700 hours of programming and impacted
290 people with the healing power of horses. This was made
possible by five paid staff members and the dedication of
80 volunteers. Our volunteers contributed 5,237 hours last
year, and they continually recruit others to assist us in our
mission-driven work.
“
I am grateful for CTR
because each day of
volunteering gives me
inspiration, reminds me of
what is truly important, and
gives me a sense of service.

Following a thorough property search
process, CTR formalized a public/private partnership with Harford County in late 2013
to relocate our operations to the Oakington farm in Havre de Grace.
This exciting project is anticipated to be complete by late 2015 and will allow CTR to
expand therapeutic programming for individuals, school groups, and other Marylandbased nonprofit organizations. Once at Oakington, we can also implement new
plans for serving veterans and the elderly. Not only would these activities fulfill
our mission, but they would also assist us in preserving our long-term financial
sustainability.
We are eagerly anticipating this new trail for Chesapeake Therapeutic Riding and
hope you will ride beside us during the journey. A very bright future awaits!
We couldn’t do our work without you!
Huge THANKS to our amazing corps of volunteers!

2013 Income
Income Breakdown
Financial Statements
Chesapeake Therapeutic Riding is proud to
report that we have ended each fiscal year
of our operations “in the black” despite the
recent recession. This achievement was possible
through prudent management, volunteer
commitments and innovative programming. But
most importantly, all of us at CTR are deeply
committed to being excellent stewards of the
resources entrusted to our care, regardless of
the changeable economic times.
