Welcome
Welcome to Rooted in Unity (RIU), where the natural bond between humans and horses comes alive. Located in the heart of beautiful Montgomery County, Maryland, we are dedicated to creating opportunities for everyone in our community to experience the joys of horseback riding and the great outdoors. Here, horses and humans thrive together, forging deep connections and life-changing experiences.
Vision
Our vision is to create a thriving community where people, even underserved and disadvantaged, can connect with nature, horses, and each other. We aspire to be a hub of harmony and inclusion, empowering individuals through horsemanship to develop confidence, compassion, and unity between humans and nature.
Mission
Rooted in Unity exists to provide affordable horseback riding lessons and horsemanship experiences to those in our community who may not have access to such opportunities. Through our program, we aim to nurture personal growth, foster connections, and instill practical and life-enriching skills in an inclusive and welcoming environment.
Rooted in Unity (RIU) is a program under our nonprofit dedicated to making a difference in Montgomery County, Maryland. We believe in the transformative power of horses, whose intuitive nature allows them to adapt to the energy and needs of those around them. Scientific studies even show that human and horse heartbeats can synchronize, creating a profound connection. RIU provides a supportive space where individuals can build skills, confidence, and community through horsemanship.
