Children and Horses just go Together!

Why we exist?

Motown Glory Partners Community Development Corporation (MGP) mutual love of animals has us working towards our goal. Our desire is for our community to experience the great outdoors in the beautiful Montgomery County.

Horses are aware of their surroundings, capable of adapting their behavior to whoever they are around, making them gold for humans because they read our energy. Recent scientific proof shows that when a person is connecting with a horse, their hearts synchronize and beat as one.

RIDE MoCo was birthed to provide affordable horseback riding lessons to those in our community who may not have the opportunity or who need an outlet. Our organization provides this through the joys and responsibilities of horsemanship and riding instruction. Our program develops hard skills (grooming, tacking, basic horse care, collaborating with other others) and soft skills (leadership, kindness, compassion, courage, communication).
