Donation of Horses
The horse is the main catalyst of change for the people who receive therapy at Texas Tech Therapeutic Riding Center; in a sense…they are the therapists. Our horses have to be able to accommodate riders of varying sizes and needs. It is necessary that they maintain a good temperament and ground manners, and they need to be tolerant of other horses. It is mandatory that the horse is sound at all gaits: walk, trot, and canter/lope. Therapy horses come from a variety of backgrounds such as showing, ranch horses, racing, former police horses, and various other disciplines. Therapy horses must be able to tolerate the ramp, leaders and sidewalkers, and various toys we use for equine-assisted therapy sessions.
We need your help! If you have a horse you are not using, would you consider donating your horse to TTRC, you can be assured that he or she will receive excellent care. You also receive the satisfaction of knowing that you are providing unique assistance that will enable riders with disabilities to receive therapy. We are always looking for new horses, so if you are interested in donating a horse, please contact Heather Hernandez at heather.hernandez@ttu.edu or 806-792-4683
