Kamloops Therapeutic Riding Association (KTRA) formed in 1988, we are a non-profit charitable organization that provides therapeutic horseback riding to individuals with disabilities. Therapeutic riding has numerous positive physical effects for those who participate in our programs, using the horse as a means of influence. There are as well many mental and emotional benefits of riding including increased self-esteem, improved concentration and improvement in socialization skills. Horses elicit a wide range of emotions and behaviors in people of all ages, because they are prey animals they are supremely sensitive to body language, tone and touch. At the same time horses are large, powerful animals that follow quiet, strong leadership.
Our Mission:
To create opportunities for personal growth, healing, and connection through a shared experience with horses.
Our Vision:
A community where all people find a place to experience joy, empowerment and personal growth.

We value and foster an environment of personal and professional growth as we strive for experiential excellence.
