“The rhythmic movement of the horse provides sensory input that simply can’t be replicated in traditional therapy. Since beginning therapeutic riding, Nevaeh has developed more physical strength and endurance, which has translated into greater participation in everyday life. Most importantly, she’s gained a sense of independence. When she’s on a horse, she can move freely without relying on others—and in Nevaeh’s world, that is a very big deal.” — 𝐸𝑟𝑖𝑛, 𝑁𝑒𝑣𝑎𝑒ℎ’𝑠 𝑀𝑜𝑚

20 Years of Strides — Then (2005) & Now (2025) 🐴✨

A lot has changed at NTRC since 2005… but we’re still saddling up every day to deliver life-changing equine-assisted programs to our community.

In 2005, riders mounted using a block or ramp. Today, in 2025, riders also have access to a state-of-the-art mounting lift.

With all these changes over the years, can you spot the one thing that’s stayed the same in these photos?

👀 Hint: She’s got the same smile and unwavering commitment to our mission.

✨ First Strides of the Season ✨

We officially kicked off our riding season yesterday, and this joyful moment from our very first session says it all—first in the saddle and all smiles!

We’ve missed seeing our riders and volunteers in action, and it felt so good to reconnect with familiar faces across campus.

Thank you to our participants, families, volunteers, instructors, and herd for making day one so meaningful.

Tell us in the comments: What are you most excited for this riding season?

🚽👑 Some Upgrades Don’t Make Headlines… But Deserve One Anyway

Our Barn Manager, Kayla, picked up not one, not two, but three brand-new thrones today—generously donated by one of our amazing volunteers. Because let’s be honest: every hard-working barn deserves a royal upgrade!

Thank you to our community for always keeping us flushed with gratitude. 💙

Occupational therapy (OT) supports individuals in developing or regaining the skills they need for everyday life, such as balance, coordination, motor planning, and sensory regulation. At NTRC, these goals are supported through equine movement, where licensed therapists and our horses work side by side to promote functional growth.

Sessions take place in the arena and may include both mounted and unmounted activities tailored to the rider’s individual goals. To see if OT is right for you or your rider, please contact our Program Director at program@ntrc.org.

This season, we’re especially excited to share what’s happening behind the scenes—Mary Fellenz-OTR-L, has been hard at work preparing the Therapy House to welcome friends of these programs. From fresh supplies to improved lighting, it's looking better than ever.

Stay tuned: a Therapy House tour is coming soon!

📸 𝟐𝟎𝟎𝟒 | 𝐍𝐓𝐑𝐂 𝐀𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐚

This photo was taken more than 20 years ago, but the heart of our work remains unchanged. At Naples Therapeutic Riding Center, we provide equine-assisted programs that help children and adults with physical, social and mental health needs grow stronger, more confident and more connected.

Every boot that’s kicked up dust in this arena, every hoof that’s left an impression and every rider who’s felt supported—it all adds up to a legacy of impact that continues today.

On 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟖, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓, we return to this very ground to celebrate the 𝟐𝟎𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐩 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞. This year’s event isn’t just a party. It’s a tribute to the past, a celebration of the present and a promise to the future.

By joining us, you’ll help change lives—just like so many have over the last 20 years. One unforgettable evening for you can mean a season of transformation for someone else.
