Miracles Therapeutic Riding Center was established by Chris Griffith in 2006 to fill the need in the northwest community for a local therapeutic riding facility. We currently operate out of the M&M Equestrian Center off of Highway 287 and Jasper Road in Erie, Colorado. Therapeutic Riding involves many different aspects including opportunity for physical, mental, and emotional growth and healing.

Each lesson, horse, and equipment used is tailored to each rider and their specific goals. Therapeutic riding is a field that is continually growing and expanding. As it does new research is coming out that shows the amazing benefits and impacts of therapeutic riding. These majestic creatures, known as the horse, have much to give us! Many can benefit from therapeutic riding including those with: Down Syndrome, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Cerebral Palsy, Spina Bifida, Multiple Sclerosis, Traumatic Brain Injury, Amputations, ADD or other Hyperactivity Disorder, Muscular Dystrophy, Paralysis, Visual and Auditory Impairment, Learning Disabilities, and, Emotional and Behavioral Difficulties. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or if you would like information about how to get involved with this wonderful program!

Today we concentrated on balance, while playing games. Horseback riding improves balance in several ways, by strengthening muscles, stimulating physical responses involving center of gravity, and stimulating proprioception. All these great things happening while having fun on the back of a horse!

We always love when our students help with the cleanup!

Terry’s journey with Miracles began back in 2006 around the start of the program, and the impact has been nothing short of miraculous. Despite her doctors’ predictions, her conditions delayed progression has defied expectations, thanks to years of therapeutic riding and dedicated personal therapies. One of the focuses of the lesson today was large circles in both directions, utilizing her legs to apply pressure. With arms outstretched, Terry worked her leg and arm muscles, engaged her core, and maintained balance. The sun-drenched Colorado day even gifted us a trail ride, soaking up essential vitamin D along the way. To conclude the lesson Terry stretched her legs, ensuring she stays flexible and strong. Another unforgettable day with Terry, a true favorite among our volunteers!

MTRC would like everyone to know that our lovely home is under new management! And we are thrilled!

Recently our beloved Mandi Greenway, who has been working at the ranch for years, and her business partner Matt Sullivan, have become new management of the ranch!

And...the ranch has a new name. Sterling Equestrian Center.

But it is all looking like rainbows for Miracles! Because we will continue business as usual and the new management will make it better and better.

Not only that! But many of the boarders who had left the ranch a few months ago, are coming back!

So everything is looking like rainbows!
