Overview
Therapeutic riding is one of the most beneficial forms of physical, mental and emotional therapy the disabled can receive. Unfortunately, it is a very costly sport though. We would like to allow individuals with a wide range of range of physical and cognitive challenges, including, but not limited to: amputation, autism, brain injury, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, developmental delay, Down's syndrome, hearing impairment, learning disability, spinal cord injury, and visual impairment to apply to OnTRA for funding to assist them with the cost of enrollment.
The funding can be used for either summer camp or riding lessons. The money would be distributed directly to member riding centres on behalf of 50 individuals who meet the eligibility criteria and are in most financial need.
