Therapeutic horseback riding, as provided through T.R.A.C.C., is a blend of recreational riding and therapy--a form of physical therapy to provide direct treatment. Individuals with a wide range of special needs (physical, cognitive and/or emotional) find many benefits from therapeutic horseback riding, including:
increased physical strength and endurance
balance
symmetry
improved self-esteem
the horse and rider link
And, of course, the opportunity to socialize are some of the benefits of our program. We are a non-profit organization supported by the families of our riders and generous donations of people like you.
TRACC’s More-Than-One-Trick Pony
Tuesday, 27 April 2010 10:18
Long time volunteer and newest TRACC instructor, Courtney Hair, has been putting our new pony through his paces and getting him ready for TRACC's new season. He has been doing great, and he will soon be joining the rest of our all-star lineup: Timmy - the original TRACC horse, Gunner - who is more than just a pretty face, and Ben - the big horse, with the big heart. With lessons starting soon, be sure to get your paperwork in to assure you have one of our stellar steeds waiting for you!
As some of you may already know - TRACC has a new pony. His name is Leo, he is a 7 year old Haflinger and he seems to be settling right in at TRACC. He even has a few tricks under his girth. I think he is going to be a great addition to TRACC's program. Click on the video to see him in action!
