There are a lot of happy moments to celebrate at Centenary University Equine Studies Department this time of year, but we’re highlighting this one! Congrats to Amelia, TRAC instructor-in-training (not to mention dedicated barn staff member!), on a strong finish to her training process! Kudos to volunteer Emma and program horse Oscar for a great job as video demo riders! (And further kudos to Oscar’s exceptionally dedicated care person, Jenna B, for that snazzy trace clip!)🥰🥰🥰

Talk about grateful!!! We were so honored to be named an EQUUS Foundation Guardian in 2025! As such, TRAC has been granted funds to support the care of our therapeutic program horses - and Petey is now sporting a brand new winter heavy blanket thanks to these funds! Petey warms our hearts on the daily, and we are glad he'll have extra warmth through our NJ winter this year! Thank you, EQUUS Foundation!

Which one of Petey's good friends will be our EQUUS Foundation Ambassador this year? Find out this week as we participate in In the meantime, any guesses? 🤔😊

Wherever you may be today, we hope you follow Oscar and Frankie's example - relax with your loved ones, snuggle under a blanket, enjoy the sunshine, and get covered in mud (OK that last one is optional)! Happy Thanksgiving from your friends at TRAC!

Thank you, especially, to those caring for the horses and facility today and throughout the year!

Super excited to share that Mieke Forte recently completed the .intl Mentor Training Course. This course enhances the skills of those who mentor instructors-in-training, emphasizing personal observation and feedback strategies. Mieke, thanks for being a great mentor and role model for TRAC's instructors-in-training and volunteers! |certifiedprofessional

Corey Briggs, Veterans Program Coordinator, recently attended the 2025 Sparkle of Hope Gala to benefit . Invited to attend by dear and long-time friends of the TRAC program, Corey had a great time networking and spreading the word about therapeutic horsemanship for veterans!

Know a veteran who might benefit from and enjoy some time with horses this season? Please have them contact Corey directly at corey.briggs@centenaryuniversity.edu or message this page for further info!

The TRAC community, and all of University Equine Studies Department, had a big loss on Friday. For the past three years, we have been so fortunate to get to know Sadie as a cherished program horse. Sadie lived a long and healthy life, loved by her family and her students. So many words come to mind to describe Sadie - sweet, cute, gentle, and steady. Her steady presence, especially, has been a gift to those of us who have been privileged to know and work with her - staff, volunteers, and participants alike. In a world that can feel rushed and busy and even sometimes a little crazy, Sadie lent the steadiness of a "good soul" to those of us fortunate enough to know and work with her. Whether Sadie was facilitating a rider's independence, playing our games, bringing solace to a military veteran, or bonding with a participant over some scratches, Sadie was unfailingly steady, kind, calm, and connected. Sadie's special presence meant so much to so many and we will miss her dearly at TRAC!

Please share your photos and memories of Sadie in the comments.

Your TRAC team members have made it home safely from the PATH International conference, but not before Karen Brittle presented “A Look Inside a Master Level Instructor Portfolio” at Sunday’s poster presentation session!

Led to some great conversations about therapeutic riding instructor advancement to Master and Advanced Therapeutic Riding Instructor Certifications!
