Welcome to Victoria Therapeutic Riding Association
Our Mission: To provide a therapeutic horseback riding program for children and adults with disabilities that promotes and enriches their physical, psychological and social well-being.
Ladies and Gentlemen……they’re off! The Steeplechase Event is in full swing starting the week of April 23rd until May 24th. Riders have been given buttons for their team (Team Danny, Team Cisco, Team Dinah, etc.) that they are encouraged to wear while collecting donations or selling raffle tickets to earn money for their team. The individual rider with the highest donations wins a $250 pre-paid Visa Card and each member of the winning team will receive a VTRA Backpack. For pledge sheets and tickets, please visit the Clubhouse.
TED is an exciting day for VTRA Exercise Riders and the Public (with their own horse) to test their horseback skills and to raise donations for the VTRA. TED is on May 25th at Beaver/Elk Lake Equestrian Society. Support your favourite rider and horse by joining them at the park and cheering them on. Prizes will be awarded to those who raise the most money. Click here for more information about the riders and the event.
The VTRA is having a raffle for three exciting prizes and tickets are only $10.00 each. First prize is a two-night get-away to Echo Valley Ranch and Spa, valued at $1700. Second prize is an Lenovo Laptop computer, valued at $650 and third prize is $500 cash! Tickets are available in the Clubhouse. The draw is on Monday June 10th in the office. Winners will be contacted on that day.
Hear Ye, Hear Ye! All Ladies and Knights in the VTRA Realm: A contest of skill and entertainment is set to take place in the VTRA outdoor ring on Saturday, June 8th from approximately 9:00am to 5:30pm. Riders will be tasked to complete a riding pattern and trail obstacles. Bring your family, guests, aunts, uncles and cousins (those not banished to the Tower) to cheer for the riders. An exciting day awaits all those who join the audience!
Last autumn, for the occasion of our exciting Galloping On Fundraiser, we asked local videographer Daniel Brimacombe to create a new video for VTRA… and the result is fantastic! We premiered the new video on Thursday, November 22nd. Thank you to Daniel for doing such a fantastic job, and to Nate and Dinah, the stars of the video! Watch it on YouTube now.
