TROT - Therapeutic Riding of Tulsa

Working on social skills, focus, cooperation, and motor skills. 🐴

Cash and friends say “Happy Wednesday!”

What are you doing for this self-care Sunday?

Trying out a different type of mask! I know that I’ve had some trouble adjusting to seeing everyone wearing masks and not being able to read facial expressions. Some of our riders have the same issue and it can be more difficult when they already have trouble reading social cues. We’re hoping this helps!

Thanks to a donation to our Sponsor a Rider Program from a generous family, Amelia gets to continue riding even when times are rough.

What is Sponsor-A-Rider all about?
Ultimately, it is a part of our mission and vision. To create a positive impact in our riders, families, and ultimately community through equine-assisted-therapy.

You can sponsor a friend, family member, or even someone you do not know! Contact us today about helping us sponsor a rider by phone (918) 520-0155 or emailing us at [email protected]

Just a reminder about our COVID-19 precautions and policies. Stay healthy! 😷

We love finding the different animal tracks around the property! Can you guess what made these tracks? Looks like it enjoyed going through our obstacle course! ;)

Weaving has many benefits including:

-Fine motor skills
-Hand-eye coordination
-Spatial relations
-Visual tracking

Add riding a horse to the mix and you get the additional benefits of:
-Balance
-Core strength
-Coordination

We collected leaves, branches, and flower from around the arena (focus, observation, sensory) to weave through hay twine.

Did you know that therapeutic horseback riding can be a family activity? It is a great way to build common experiences between family members and the perfect activity to build a bond through. Families can interact directly with the rider on the horse or by assisting with activities.

What we love about this picture is the multiple generations represented! The rider's cousin and grandmother are working with him and he is blowing kisses to another family member off out of the frame!
