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.

Welcome to the stables

Desi is a registered Norwegian Fjord gelding. He was born in 1992, his registered name is Destrier of Narnia!
Desi has been with PRTRA since October 2007 and is one of the backbones of our program here at PRTRA.
With endless patience and an even temperament, Desi can be counted on to look after some of our most challenging riders.
We are very lucky to have a wonderful ‘home away from home’ for Desi when the program is not running.
He lives with the Pagani’s who take very good care of him and love him like their own.

Liam comes to us from Salt Spring Island and is the first horse to be adopted through PRTRA’s Adopt A Pony program.
He is a chestnut roan Belgian/Quarter Horse gelding born in 1995.
Liam’s quiet “gentle giant” nature makes him everyone’s favorite.
Not only does he get along with all of us but also he gets along with the whole herd
and has made a wonderful pasture mate for many of our horses.

Adopt-a-ponyHere’s a great way to help PRTRA. Consider sponsoring one of the therapy horses through the Adopt-a-Pony 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...
