We donated a Hat to Colorado Therapeutic Riding Center for their next Silent Auction
We love supporting non-profits that align in what we believe in. And giving back to others in a gentle and in a most loving way is what Colorado Therapeutic Riding Center is all about.
Here is snippet from their website on what they do:
The Colorado Therapeutic Riding Center (CTRC) is a PATH Intl. Premier Accredited Center in southeast Longmont, Colorado. Since 1980, CTRC has been devoted to serving children and adults with disabilities. As one of the oldest therapeutic riding centers in Colorado and one of the largest in the nation, CTRC provides over 3,700 program hours of dynamic equine-assisted services annually, supported by an impressive workforce of over 1,000 volunteer positions each year.
At CTRC we strive to nurture not only our participant’s physical health, but their mental and spiritual health as well. Our dynamic equine-assisted services are far more than a mere pony ride. Through working with the horse as a partner and modality, our services produce tangible physical, psychological, cognitive, social, and educational benefits. We witness the profound life enhancing benefits of equine-assisted services every day and invite you to experience them yourself and your loved ones.
“I want to thank you, and all of CTRC, for what you have given my son. You helped him learn that even though he is often looked upon as ‘different’, he can dream his own dreams and accomplish whatever he sets his sights on.” – CTRC Rider Parent
