The Cowichan TRA (CTRA) exists as a place where the human-equine relationship creates opportunities

We have several program streams that are designed to meet the abilities, needs, and goals of individual participants. These program streams include: therapeutic riding (the physical therapy end of the spectrum), therapeutic horsemanship (therapy and skill-building through horsemanship “on the ground”), and equine assisted learning (team building and learning how to communicate effectively with both people and horses). Our program streams utilize the power of the human-equine bond to improve the lives of persons with varying needs who live within our community. A shared appreciation for this special human-equine relationship brings individuals and their families into our organization, where they experience inclusiveness and are given the opportunity to work collaboratively with everybody on their team. Although our program serves persons with disabilities, it has positively impacted the lives of countless individuals of all abilities. Our program serves as a hub of community action where members of our community give back through participation and volunteerism, with a culture of inclusion.

Our Story

We have several program streams that are designed to best meet the abilities, needs, and goals of individual participants. These program streams include: therapeutic riding (the physical therapy end of the spectrum), recreational riding (therapeutic riding with a focus on recreation and outdoor activity), rider achievement levels (progressive skill development opportunity within the therapeutic context), introduction to competition (aspects of para-equestrian sport are introduced and developed), therapeutic horsemanship (therapy and skill-building through horsemanship “from the ground”), and stable management vocational development (employment training through stable management and equine interactions for persons with disabilities). Our differentiated program streams share our overarching purpose to improve the lives of persons with disabilities in our community utilizing the power of the human-equine bond. A shared appreciation for this special human-equine relationship brings myriad individuals, families, and groups within our space, positively contributing to an inclusive and collaborative social fabric in our communities. Although our program serves persons with disabilities, it has positively impacted the lives of countless individuals of all abilities. Our program serves as a hub of community action where members of our community give back through participation, volunteerism, and a culture of inclusion.
