MARE Therapeutic Riding Center
M.A.R.E is an acronym for Mastering Abilities Riding
Equines. MARE Therapeutic Riding Center has been helping
people with special needs and disabilities for 25 years!
Recently, I heard the facility was hosting a big 25 year
celebration event. Then, I realized this very special place
is right in my backyard and I have yet to visit the place. I
contacted Debra Durkin and she agreed to give me the history and
tour of such a fantastic facility.
They have a wonderful set of horses and even a more dedicated staff. MARE has a huge staff of volunteers and offers therapeutic riding sessions 44 weeks a year.
Celebrating 25 Years
The organization is celebrating 25 years with a huge gala
called Diamonds to Denim happening on the grounds of the MARE
Therapeutic Riding Center. The event happens on Saturday,
October 24th, 2015 at 5 PM. Headlining the event will be
equestrian demonstrations in both dressage and reining. There
will also be dinner served, along with a silent auction, live
music, and dancing.

About Us
Welcome to the Whoa Podcast about Horses and Horsemanship. I am your host John Harrer. Along with my wife, Ranae, each week on the show we talk about some aspect of owning a horse. It could be feeding or supplementation. It could be bits and bridles, tack, or cowboy boots. We cover training problems, or competing in shows. We talk to farriers and horse chiropractors. We talk about movies, books and magazine articles. And, we travel to places we think you would like to take your horse. That’s what the Whoa Podcast is all about.
