Triangle Therapeutic Riding

01/02/2026

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year 🎆!!

After 20 years of operations, I am officially announcing that Triangle Therapeutic Riding is closed.

Over the years, it has been a pleasure to work with the many different riders, families and volunteers. Striving to make positive change has been our goal since our start in February 2005.

It has been very rewarding to see and hear the success stories of not only our participants, but also our volunteers. Many volunteers found their purpose and path to continue education in related fields such as PT, OT, Speech Therapy, Counseling Special Ed, horse training or the confidence to pursue dreams. This makes all of us involved very proud to have been a part of mentoring others.

I will still be managing Stony Run Fields the facility, working horses, and offering lessons with quality Horsemanship under USEF instead of PATH INTL. My own set of health issues and time constraints are creating a need of necessary change. However, I do welcome a friendly “hello” for those of you who wish to stop in for a visit.

Moving forward on a new path in life, I wish all of you the very best. Please take time to appreciate the small things that bring joy in life. If you have not found those yet, then make time to discover them. For 2026 I hope you make positive change by removing the things that bring you stress, conflict and negativity. Make PEACE a priority.

Happy Trails,
Laura Rutledge

Today’s veterans group from start to finish… grooming to leading, self awareness to being present, to connecting with the horses. The goal here is to not to ride, but to learn about how self awareness can help improve communication and connection with the horses. Lots to think about for next week. Ask with the whisper first, but don’t be afraid to ask stronger until you get the task done.

Great group today! Looking forward to next week. Thank you volunteers for all you do!

Here we are at the Lebanon VA Medical Center for the Vets Fest. Rita was able to join me today for our information table. It was fun to see some of past participants doing some great new things. ( Andy now in the Red Dragon martial arts)…

From our friends at “creating positivity ”…

Small steps still move mountains.
Progress doesn’t have to be loud to be life-changing. Be proud of how far you’ve come, not just how far you have to go. You are doing better than you think! ❤️

Hello! Summer is here and lessons are busy with new riders and continuing riders. We are very grateful for our volunteers as they are the backbone of our organization. New volunteers are needed to help our team. We are looking for new volunteers to help side aid with riders Monday, Tuesday and Thursday afternoons 4:30 through to 7 pm. Please visit our website at TriangleTR.org and look for the volunteer form PDF tab.
Message us here for any questions. Volunteers will be asked to shadow before starting their training to experience what all is involved. Appropriate footwear and walking in the sand and outside in the grass is required. If you are looking to meet new people, get some exercise, and help people in our community with special needs, join our team. We offer training and a purposeful experience.
