Appalachian Therapeutic Riding Center
ATRC IS OPENING UP!!!
After a long year of scrambling to adapt to the reality of COVID-19 restrictions we are finally opening up. We are conducting a small session this spring and plan to hold summer camps for different groups for 5-6 weeks this summer. Hopefully we will be able to return to business as usual in the fall.
COVID-19 safety protocols are being strictly followed.

Testimonials
From a program director:
I could tell immediately when he had been with the horses. He was calmer and more centered. This has made a huge difference in his life and he is much happier.
From the director of a cooperating non-profit:
Shortbus needs safe work opportunities for artists. ATRC gets a grant for vocational training/workers. ATRC hires Shortbus artists. They learn skills while doing a great job. Shortbus is happy. ATRC is happy. The artists are happy. The horses are happy. Everyone wins. (Click to see Shortbus participants in action.)
From a parent:
Our son LOVES riding and the horses really calm him down. When our son is having a panic attack we try to bring him back by talking about the horses. Omar is a saving grace! When our son is lost in anxiety, us talking about details about Omar, has helped our son to slow his breathing and come back in his body.
