Riding instruction is given by qualified instructors under the guidance of physiotherapists and occupational therapists. Riders are assisted by trained volunteers during all phases of their riding activities. Safety gear is provided.
The horses for this program are especially schooled for use with disabled persons and are sponsored through donations.
All activities are planned and supervised by the C.V.T.R.S. Program Coordinator.
We are members of both the Canadian Therapeutic Riding Association (CANTRA) and the British Columbia Therapeutic Riding Association (BCTRA).
WHERE DO WE RIDE?
We ride in a covered arena, outside riding rings and through wooded trails on the banks of the Tsolum River near Courtenay, B.C., Canada. You can find us on this printable map of Courtenay.
