🦄✨ Sometimes a little magic trots into the arena! ✨

Today, Nala transformed into a unicorn for some of our lessons — spreading smiles, sparkles, and a whole lot of joy to her riders. 💖
At KTRA, we believe in the magic of connection, confidence, and courage (and sometimes a touch of glitter too!).

🍂 That’s a wrap on our Fall Session! 🍂

This week marks the end of our Fall riding session — and what an amazing season it’s been! Our riders have worked hard, our volunteers have given their all, and our incredible horses have earned a well-deserved break. 🐴💛

We’ll be back in January for our 10-week Winter Session, and we can’t wait to see everyone again soon!

📅 Registration for the 2026 Winter Session — Powered by New Gold — opens October 31!

Thank you to our riders, families, volunteers, and community for making this season so special. 💙

🐴 KTRA is in need of a western saddle! 🐴

We’re currently looking for a western saddle with semi–quarter horse bars for our therapeutic riding horses.

If you have one that you’d be willing to lend or donate (we can provide a tax receipt for donations!), we’d be so grateful.

Your support helps our riders continue to thrive in their lessons — thank you for helping us keep our herd and program strong! 💙
