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
Zora, a "silver or grey" Fjord mare who is an excellent therapy horse for all our riders, from preschoolers to adults.
Zora was purchased from a family in Princeton, BC in April 2016.
She is a stunning ‘Gray’ Norwegian Fjord. Born June 1, 2003 and registered as ‘Snowy’s Zora’.
She loves people and is gentle, with the calm Fjord personality.
Liam came to us from Salt Spring Island. 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. |
Stormy
is a registered Norwegian Fjord gelding. He was born in 2002. In previous years, he was used in a Therapeutic Riding Facility. Stormy may be little, but his personality is not! 
Pete
is a registered Norweigan Fjord gelding, born in 2009. Pete came from Alberta, where he was used as a driving horse. Pete is trained in wheelchair lifts, and can be trusted with all of our riders. |
Leon, our barn cat!

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
- Plaque with horse’s photo to display in your office
- PRTRA’s Facebook page and Website will include mention of Adopt-a-Pony sponsors with link to your web site.
- Recognition at PRTRA events
