Meet the Team

NTRC’s team is responsible for herding more than a dozen therapy horses and thousands of people – including participants, volunteers, supporters, and one another.

NTRC’s team consists of PATH International Certified Instructors, all of whom hold the Therapeutic Riding Instructor certification and some of whom hold the additional Equine Specialist in Mental Health and Learning certification. All instructors perform evaluations, and assessments and create individualized treatment programs for therapeutic riders.

With more than 350 volunteers providing thousands of hours of service, volunteer coordinators are our wranglers. They make sure all volunteers receive orientations, and are trained, scheduled, and supported in their activities.

The 7-acre campus includes two barns, two arenas, multiple paddocks, and the Clark Family Foundation Equine-Assisted Therapy Center. Additionally, NTRC’s herd of therapy horses is constantly growing and changing. 12-14 horses serve our participants. As horses retire, additional horses are added to the herd and trained for therapeutic activities.
