Welcome to the
        Colorado Therapeutic Riding Center!

The Colorado Therapeutic Riding Center (CTRC) is a PATH Intl Premier Therapeutic Riding Center in Longmont, Colorado devoted, since 1980, to serving children and adults with disabilities. As the oldest and largest therapeutic riding center in Colorado, and one of the largest in the nation, CTRC serves over 700 riders through our dynamic programs and has an impressive work force of over 1,000 volunteers each year.

We provide services through core program areas such as Therapeutic Riding, Hippotherapy, All Abilities Integrated Summer Camps and Mini Troopers. Any of our offered equine assisted therapeutic services is far more than a mere pony ride. Rather, they are a complex and exciting means of therapy that produces tangible physical, psychological, cognitive, social, and educational benefits.

At CTRC, not only are the participants bodies nurtured but their minds and spirits as well. For over thirty years, we have witnessed the profound, life enhancing benefits of equine assisted therapeutic services and invite you to experience them yourself.
