Equine-Assisted Activities & Therapies

Changing lives in and outside of the arena.

Programs

The RTC operates in five, eight-week Sessions throughout the year:  Winter, Spring, Summer I, Summer II, and Fall.  Each Session consists of consecutive weekly lessons (excluding most holidays) with one week set aside at the end for any makeup lessons needed due to illness, weather cancellations, etc.  Each Makeup Week is followed by one week off to allow the therapy horses to rest.  Please see the Calendar for Session Dates.
