We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to for their incredibly generous donation of three rain sheets and three coolers for our therapeutic riding horses.

These essential items help keep our horses comfortable, healthy, and protected from Alberta’s ever-changing weather. Whether it’s staying dry during a spring shower or cooling down comfortably after a lesson, these blankets make a meaningful difference in the daily care of our equine partners.

Our horses are at the heart of everything we do. They provide confidence, connection, healing, and joy to so many participants throughout the year. Donations like this help ensure they receive the very best care in return.

Thank you, Airdrie Home Watch Services, for supporting our herd and the important work they do. Your generosity directly impacts both our horses and the riders whose lives they touch every day.

A huge thank you to for hosting Calgary Therapeutic Riding Association for our 50/50 fundraiser!

We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to share the work we do with the community while raising funds to support our riders and horses. Your generosity and support help make therapeutic riding programs possible for children and adults living with physical, developmental, emotional, and social challenges.

Thank you as well to everyone who stopped by, purchased tickets, shared kind words, and supported CTRA throughout the event. Community partnerships like this truly make a difference. 💙🐴

And of course thank you to everyone who volunteered their time selling tickets and speaking with folks, letting them know who ctra is ❤️

A beautiful pink rose bush, some purple petunias or some veggies!

We’re excited to share that we have an upcoming casino fundraiser on June 8 & 9, and it’s an important part of our fundraising efforts this year.

We’ll need as many volunteers as possible to help fill a variety of positions, no experience necessary, just a willingness to jump in and support the program!

If you’re available for any shift, we would truly appreciate your help. Please reach out or keep an eye out for the sign-up details coming soon.

Thank you for everything you do to support our riders and horses - we couldn’t do it without you.

Happy Easter from all of us at CTRA 🐰🐴

Wishing you a day of fresh air, a little sunshine, and time spent with those who matter most.

💛 The Heart of CTRA: Our Volunteers 💛

CTRA simply wouldn’t exist without the incredible humans who show up, rain or shine, boots on and hearts open. From grooming and leading, to holding space for participants and caring for our horses, our volunteers are the quiet magic behind every session.

They give their time, their compassion, and their steady presence — creating safety, connection, and trust for both horses and humans alike. This work is powerful, and it takes a village rooted in kindness, patience, and respect.

We are endlessly grateful for each and every volunteer who walks through the barn doors and chooses to be part of this community. You matter. You are seen. And you are deeply appreciated. 🤍🐴

Interested in becoming part of the CTRA volunteer family? We’d love to hear from you.
