Enjoy this short video of Jojo's lesson! She matched letters to animals, weaved through cones, and shared some needed smiles with Sport. Jojo brings a lot of joy to CTRC, and we love having her here!

Boop! Guess the snoot!

💙 Meet Bonnie — a true heart of the CTRC community. 💙

What started as a simple introduction to volunteering in 2012 grew into more than a decade of purpose, connection, and joy. From learning the ropes to training new generations of volunteers, Bonnie’s story is a beautiful reminder that volunteering at CTRC is as therapeutic for the volunteers as it is impactful for our riders.

“I’m not sure who gets more therapy—the riders we work with, or me.”

Read Bonnie’s inspiring journey and see how one volunteer can touch countless lives—both human and equine. 🐴✨

This holiday season, we are filled with gratitude for you—the supporters who give so generously of your time, your resources, and your hearts to the Colorado Therapeutic Riding Center.

Because of you, riders arrive with uncertainty and leave with confidence. Because of you, horses are cared for with compassion and purpose. Because of you, families find hope, progress is celebrated, and moments of joy happen every day at the barn.

Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “Since you get more joy out of giving joy to others, you should put a good deal of thought into the happiness that you are able to give.” At CTRC, we see that truth come to life through you. Whether you are volunteering in the arena, caring for our horses, cheering on riders, or making a financial gift to sustain our programs, your generosity creates happiness that reaches far beyond a single moment or lesson.

Your gifts—of both time and treasure—make it possible for CTRC to offer safe, consistent, and life-changing equine-assisted services throughout the year. The confidence built, the milestones achieved, and the smiles shared are all made possible because you chose to give.

As we reflect on this season of giving, we hope you feel the joy that comes from knowing the difference you have made. From all of us at CTRC—our riders, families, horses, and staff—thank you for being such an essential part of our community.

We wish you a holiday season filled with warmth, joy, and the deep happiness that comes from giving.

With heartfelt thanks,
The Colorado Therapeutic Riding Center

Looking to sponsor? Meet Handsome Treasures (aka Handsome)! He is an 18 year old chestnut colored US Hanoverian.

This retired hunter/jumper horse thrives here at the center, helping new riders build confidence. In his neck and right front leg, Handsome is dealing with early-onset arthritis and needs your sponsorship for his special orthopedic shoes so that he can continue supporting riders and enjoying his free time in the pastures.

Looking to sponsor? Meet Annie, an 18-year-old blonde chestnut colored Belgian Draft!

Annie was generously donated to CTRC through a partnership with C Lazy U Ranch. Annie is a gorgeous blonde chestnut Belgian Draft horse who is loving life here at CTRC. Previously a plow horse at C Lazy U, she was started in their riding program before coming to CTRC. She is now thriving in our programs. While only in her teenage years, Annie needs meds and special shoes. To support Annie or to view other horses that are in need of a sponsor, click the link below!
