Programs
The FTRA offers a variety of different horse centred programs to individuals with various disabilities. All of our programs incorporate equine therapy to provide self-reflection, self-awareness and the development of new skills to our clients, which helps enhance their mental health and wellness.
​
All programs are taught by a certified Canadian Therapeutic Riding Association (CANTRA) coach.
​
All new participants to the Therapeutic Riding, Mighty Minis, and equisizer must attend a trial ride before joining. Please visit our Trial Ride page to acquire more information.​​
