MFTS began with 10 children, one physical therapist, 5 volunteers, and two horses in 2001. Since then MFTS has expanded into three counties (Paulding, Cobb and Bartow). As hippotherapy began to grow, additional therapists were hired to accommodate the waiting lists. MFTS is a local resource for the areas special needs individuals. Presently, MFTS serves 200 children and adults, staffs 13 therapists, has a steady base of approximately 40 volunteers, and maintains 10 horses. All this is driving the need to establish its own facility. As of April 2005 the existing waiting list is over 60 children.
