"The entire staff of CATR has embraced Lucas and helped him expand his world through the love of horses. Lucas’s weekly lessons have heightened his sense of responsibility while exercising his senses of hearing, touch, smell, and on celebratory occasions, taste. It is with tremendous gratitude that we’re already looking forward to the day when the Fall Session begins and Lucas will be able to continue what has become one of the most meaningful experiences of his life."- Lois Cain, CATR Parent 💙🐴

For many who come to CATR, their horse becomes far more than a partner — it becomes a teacher, a trusted friend, and a powerful source of healing. CATR Student Avril shares that her horse helps her feel happy and build strong muscles. These are just two of the many other qualities that are are supported by CATR programming. Horses have a unique ability to respond to human emotions and body language, helping people become calmer, more confident, and more self-aware. Therapeutic Riding also challenges the rider's balance, muscles, and coordination. At CATR, our herd is the heartbeat of everything we do, and our programs would not be possible without them. Through their steadiness, intelligence, and intuition, horses help improve our students’ physical, emotional, and social well-being. 🐴💙

By becoming a part of the CATR Community you ensure our students can continue building these skills. Join us today to continue to nurture and foster these incredible partnerships with horses!
