Our Riders at CTRP
The therapeutic effects of horseback riding have been documented for centuries, however the idea began to attract attention from the medical community in 1952 when Denmark's Liz Hartel won an Olympic Silver Medal in Dressage despite having partial paralysis from polio.
Today, more than 30,000 children and adults enjoy the benefits of therapeutic horseback riding.
At CTRP, we have 30 riders who participate in our therapeutic riding program plus members of visiting school groups.
