We were honored to be invited to accept this year's grant award from TowerCares at the O's Memorial Day game at Camden Yards. Director of Development, Lisa Zehring was joined by Kirby Bowling, an MTR participant, veteran, and MTR Ambassador, making the experience even more meaningful.

MTR is deeply grateful to once again receive support from TowerCares, the charitable foundation of Tower Federal Credit Union. As a longtime supporter of our Equine Services for Heroes program, TowerCares helps make it possible for military members, veterans, first responders, and their immediate family members to participate in equine-assisted therapy services at no out-of-pocket cost.

Feeling stretched thin, overwhelmed, or disconnected?

Join us on June 13 for Disconnect to Reconnect, a restorative equine-assisted workshop designed to help you slow down, reconnect with yourself, and find calm in the company of horses.

Through guided, ground-based interactions, you'll explore mindfulness and grounding practices that support emotional well-being, stress reduction, and authentic connection. No horse experience is required.

Led by licensed mental health therapist Anne Ateeka Contee, LCPC, and supported by a certified Equine Specialist, participants often leave feeling calmer, more centered, and better equipped with practical tools they can use in everyday life.

At MTR, Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) offers a unique, ground-based approach to mental health through meaningful interactions with horses. Guided by a licensed mental health professional and certified equine specialist, sessions create space for connection, reflection, and growth in a calm, supportive environment. Horses respond honestly and without judgment, helping individuals navigate grief, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and life’s transitions in a different kind of way.

The Anastasia's Light Mental Health Scholarship was created to help remove financial barriers for individuals seeking equine-assisted mental health services, ensuring more people in our community have access to meaningful support, healing, and connection.

Inspired by the life of Anastasia Gumbel, this fund carries forward the light and love she so freely shared with others. Through her compassion, leadership, and ability to uplift those around her, Anastasia made a lasting impact on everyone she met.

Established through funds raised by Anastasia’s Light during the Tread for Tomorrow fundraiser, this scholarship reflects a shared commitment to expanding access to alternative mental health therapies that offer hope and healing.

At MTR, we are proud to partner in continuing Anastasia’s legacy by helping individuals discover strength, connection, and their own light through equine-assisted mental health services.

You can help Anastasia’s light continue to shine for others.

This Memorial Day, we honor and remember those who gave their lives in service to our country. We also recognize that grief, loss, trauma, and the invisible weight carried by military members, veterans, and their families deserve compassion and support.

As Mental Health Awareness Month continues, may we remind one another that healing can begin in connection, community, and moments of peace. At MTR, we are grateful to offer spaces where individuals can slow down, breathe deeply, and find support through the presence of horses and nature. ❤️
