Earlier this week, we had the pleasure of gathering with our incredible Kentucky Derby Party sponsors for a special Patron Party LoKey Hat Co. We are deeply grateful to our hosts for opening their doors and creating such a welcoming, memorable space for connection and celebration.

To our sponsors, thank you. Your support is what brings this event to life and, more importantly, what makes our mission possible. Because of you, we are able to continue improving lives through the healing power of horses. We are truly honored to have you alongside us.

Yesterday, Bianca Smith visited Naples Therapeutic Riding Center for a special WINK Stops feature, highlighting our sold out Kentucky Derby Party and the mission that drives everything we do. πŸ‡

We are proud to have shared this moment through the voice of Laura Georgelos, who brings a powerful perspective as both a member of our Board of Directors and a rider parent. Her story reflects the real impact happening here each day.

Because of the support behind events like the Derby Party, NTRC continues to improve the lives of individuals with physical, social, and mental health needs through the power of the horse.

Thank you to WINK News for helping us tell this story and shine a light on our mission.

To our community,

Our hearts are with all those affected by the fire in the Picayune Strand area. We are holding you close in our thoughts during this incredibly difficult time.

At this time, Naples Therapeutic Riding Center has reached capacity for evacuees. We are grateful to have been able to support those we could and continue to stand with our community during this crisis.

For those still seeking a safe place for their horses, we encourage other stables in secure areas to comment below so families in need can connect with you.

In moments like this, the strength of our community matters most. We stand together, and we are here for you.

To the horse community, thank you to everyone who has stepped up to help their neighbors and equine partners.

Wishing safety, protection, and safe harbor to all.

Meet Max! From the moment Max arrives at NTRC, his excitement says it all. Through therapeutic riding, Max has found something truly powerful: calm, connection, and happiness. The rhythmic movement of the horse provides the sensory input he needs, helping him stay focused and regulated. Max is noticeably calmer after lessons, often for the rest of the day.

For his family, the most meaningful moments are the simplest ones, like watching Max skip joyfully toward the arena gate, confident and ready to ride.

Fridays at NTRC are for opening our gates and sharing our mission. ❀️

Today, Kristen Goodman, Director, kicked off her monthly β€œHorse Coffee Tours.” With fresh donuts, good coffee, and even better company, a wonderful group spent the morning learning about NTRC, our programs, and the impact happening here every day. When people see it and experience it firsthand, that’s when connection grows and lives continue to change.

Thank you, Kristen, for creating a space that brings people closer to our mission. This work is not possible without our community, from participants to volunteers to donors and advocates. So, we invite you to experience it firsthand.

The next β€œHorse Coffee Tour” will be held on May 1.

If you’re interested in attending a tour and experiencing NTRC firsthand, we would love to have you. Send us a DM to learn more.

At NTRC’s Kentucky Derby Party, the Live Horse Auction is one of the most anticipated moments of the evening! πŸ‡πŸŒΉ

Guests bid on NTRC’s therapy horses, each thoughtfully paired with a horse running in the Kentucky Derby. When you win the bid, you are not purchasing the horse, but symbolically securing its Derby match for the race.

As the race unfolds, your experience continues as the excitement elevates. If the Derby horse paired with your therapy horse finishes in the top three, you take home more than bragging rights. Winners of Win (1st) , Place (2nd), and Show (3rd) leave NTRC with a little cushion in their pocket!

And... If your horse comes in last, we have you covered with our β€œBottom of the Barrel” prize, a nice bottle of bourbon to ease the let down.

It is a high-energy, engaging way to be part of the race while directly supporting the horses who make our work possible every day.

Grab your tickets now. Only 70 seats remain!

Have you ever wanted to pursue a certification that can truly change lives, including your own?

This fall, Naples Therapeutic Riding Center is proud to host two PATH Intl. training opportunities designed for individuals who feel called to make a deeper impact through equine-assisted services.

CTRI Skills Clinic
September 18–21, 2026
A Certified Therapeutic Riding Instructor (CTRI) is a trained professional who safely leads and adapts horseback riding sessions for individuals with physical, social, and mental health needs. It is a role that blends horsemanship, teaching, and human connection, where every lesson is purposeful and every interaction has the potential to create meaningful progress. This workshop is tailored to refine your teaching, strengthen your understanding of safety and standards, and take the next step toward certification.

Equine Specialist in Mental Health and Learning Workshop
October 9–11, 2026
Learn how to partner with licensed professionals to support mental health and learning through equine-assisted sessions. An ESMHL, certified through PATH Intl., is a professional who partners with licensed clinicians to safely facilitate ground-based equine-assisted mental health and learning sessions by managing the horse and environment.

If you have ever felt drawn to this work, this is your opportunity to begin or grow that journey.
