☀️ The PRTRA herd has been soaking up their summer break, and Pete & Pheobe are leading the charge in relaxation goals. One month in, and they’ve mastered the art of sunshine, shade naps, and mutual grooming. 🐴💛

Herd time isn’t just heartwarming, it’s backed by science. Horses are social, herd-bound animals who thrive on connection. Time spent together reduces stress, supports emotional balance, and encourages natural behaviours essential to their wellbeing.

For horses like Pete and Pheobe, this downtime is more than just a break, it’s a reset. It allows them to rest, recharge, and return to their meaningful work feeling calm, focused, and ready to support their riders again.

Here’s to friendship, freedom, and the power of herd time!

Thrilled to announce PRTRA is bringing back the Family Day Ride a Thon!

A lot of information circulates about autism and ADHD—especially since these neurotypes make up a large portion of the riders we see in Equine Assisted Services. But too often, autism and ADHD are only represented through challenges or deficits. Even the “positive” traits are frequently framed with a negative undertone—like they're quirks to manage rather than strengths to celebrate.

I created this because I want to encourage all of us to notice and nurture the unique strengths each rider brings.

Creativity, focus, honesty, intensity, and truly original ways of thinking—these are powerful gifts, especially when we choose to focus on the positive. Let’s celebrate what our riders can do.
