Meet Leo!

Leo is one of our newer additions at the barn and he is the true definition of a gentle giant! He will greet and snuggle participants in the field and his sensitivity under saddle helps students develop technical riding and safely learn cause and effect of their actions.

He came from a show jumping background but his body was ready for a lighter work load. We are excited to welcome this handsome gentleman to Tri-State!

Testimonial
“Since moving to Chattanooga in 2020, Tri State has been my sense of normality in a huge move across country in the middle of a global pandemic. I didn’t know anyone yet. At the barn, I made friends and gained confidence in riding and relationships. Tri State has been essential for me in recovering from surgery as well. I learned to trust again and to love again. To see my full potential and take risks in my professional life. Through my relationship with the horses and my friends there, I have gone places I never imagined would be possible. “ -Ariel Pollack

One of our goals at Tri-State Therapeutic Riding Center has been to make necessary improvements to our facility to ensure the long term sustainability of the property and wellbeing of our herd. This has allowed us to build capacity for programming in the community while maintaining a high standard of care for our horses, stewarding what we have to the best of our ability.

We are thankful to Bradley County Healthy Community Initiative, Bryants Excavation and Landscaping, support from over 80 private Donors at Boots in the Barn, 8 grant making organizations and our fearless staff and volunteers for helping make our mission possible while caring for our facility in 2025!

Testimonial:
“Tri-State Therapeutic Riding Center has given me a safe way to stay connected to horses and receive meaningful therapy. It challenges my balance, coordination, and visual system while also providing emotional healing and social connection. The program is a lifeline that makes therapy accessible and enjoyable. Their work has brought me comfort, challenge, connection, and healing during one of the hardest seasons of my life. I am grateful to God for placing this program in my path, and I am deeply grateful to Tri-State Therapeutic Riding Center for the role they have played in helping me navigate a life that was involuntarily turned upside down.”
