Our Horses
Our horses are chosen for their gentle nature and calmness. They have a hard job and must adapt to the many different needs of our riders. Finding appropriate horses for our program is a challenge so a great deal of care is given to them so they can continue to provide this therapy.
We've had some amazing horses over the years, and this is our most recent dream team! All of our horses have been or are currently going through extensive training with our wonderful trainer Milan, who has achieved her Equitation Science International Diploma.

Sponsor a Horse
Here’s a great way to help PRTRA. Consider sponsoring one of the therapy horses through the Sponsor A Horse program. The cost of maintaining a special therapy horse is very high. Costs may include feed, bedding, farrier and veterinary costs, replacing special tack, maintaining and repairing stable and pasture.
Your sponsorship will maintain one special therapeutic riding horse of your choice for one year. The Adopt-a-Pony program gives corporations, groups and individuals the opportunity to support the “backbone” of our therapeutic riding program - the horses. Sponsorship Benefits Adopt-a-Pony sponsors are recognized for their contribution in many ways...
Name plate with sponsor’s logo on horse’s stall

PRTRA’s Facebook page and Website will include mention of Adopt-a-Pony sponsors with link to your web site.
