COMMUNITY INFORMATION

Majestic Equine Connections, Inc.

is a nonprofit organization serving Medina County through Therapeutic Horseback Riding, also known as Adaptive Horseback Riding. We offer lessons for individuals as young as four, including youth and seniors.

Our Executive Director, Jennifer Stankiewicz, brings a lifetime of experience working with individuals with disabilities. Her passion drives our mission to provide safe, engaging equine activities in a welcoming, family-friendly environment.

In the summer, we partner with The Ohio State University 4-H Extension as the 4-H Majestic Horse SPIN Club. We also offer Barn Buddies, a hands-on, non-riding program for all ages. This program, in partnership with The Caring Corral, is offered at just $10 per session and is partially funded by their generous support. Sign-ups are available at majesticequineconnectionsinc.org.

We’ve recently experienced exciting growth. In 2024, we were awarded over $11,000 by 100+ Women Who Care in Medina County and partnered with The Visiting Place Foundation. We also raised $20,500 through A Fun Time for a Cause hosted by Jennie Thewlis.

As we expand our services, we remain committed to small-group programming focused on individual care. But we can’t do it alone.

We’re seeking participant scholarships, horse sponsorships, and financial or in-kind donations—including hay and supplies. All donations are tax-deductible and help us continue to grow and serve.

We’re also working with the Medina County Park District to secure a larger facility to better accommodate our growing community. We look forward to sharing more updates soon—and we’re grateful for your support on this journey.
