Recreational Riding

In addition to our year round therapeutic riding program, MTR offers recreational riding lessons to riders of all abilities and interests. Lessons take place on MTR's 25-acre farm located in Crownsville, MD. Facilities include two lighted outdoor arenas and one fantastic indoor arena. We provide qualified and well-trained staff and horses. These unique lessons are conducted by Kelly Rodgers and are individual in style and lesson delivery. Lessons focus upon the rider's position and the correct training of the horse. Kelly's hunter/jumper approach brings diversity to this exciting form of recreational riding. Our instructor looks forward to sharing a wealth of knowledge with you.

About Kelly

By seven years old she started competing in hunter/jumper shows throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York. From 2002-2006 Kelly attended Centenary College, one of the east coast’s premier equestrian schools. While attending Centenary, Kelly competed successfully on the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association team as well as the Hunter/Jumper team. She has been very fortunate in her riding career, training with some of the best in the horse world. Kelly has ridden in numerous clinics with Olympic Coach George Morris, as well as three time Olympian Michael Page. Kelly has been teaching for over 6 years with an emphasis on Hunters, Hunter seat equitation, and Jumpers. She enjoys teaching and is very excited to be a part of the instructor team at Maryland School of Horsemanship. Kelly loves to take her students to horse shows and see all their hard work pay off!
