THERAPEUTIC RIDING ASSOCIATION OF OTTAWA-CARLETON INC.

Equidae Stables “Home of TROtt”

TROtt is a charitable non-profit organization that has been serving children, youth and adults in the Ottawa area with primarily physical, developmental and learning disabilities for over 30 years. The Association’s activities take place on a beautiful property in Greely, south of Ottawa. The facilities include an outdoor sand ring, and a new heated arena with viewing lounge, seminar room, activity rooms and washrooms.

TROtt provides programming for children and adults for conditions such as cerebral palsy, developmental delay, spina bifida, stroke, head injuries, multiple sclerosis, amputees, sensory integration dysfunction, Downs Syndrome, visual impairments and learning and language disabilities.

TROtt has CanTRA and Equine Canada certified instructors and coaches, an experienced therapist, trained volunteers and staff. Our very special, quiet and well-behaved horses are chosen for their temperaments. They are carefully selected and trained, which enables us to provide a safe, structured, goal-oriented program that includes physical, social, cognitive and educational activities.

TROtt supports the Canadian standardization of therapeutic riding instruction and provides in-house preparation for CanTRA’s internationally recognized instructor certification program. CanTRA examinations, coaching clinics and workshops are regularly held at the TROtt facilities.

TROtt educates the public about the benefits of therapeutic riding by giving presentations to service clubs, schools and community groups.

TROtt is a member in good standing of both OnTRA (provincial) and CanTRA (national).
