About the Kamloops Therapeutic Riding Association
Over 35 years serving Kamloops
We embrace diversity, inclusion, and acceptance. We recognize capability while ensuring safety. We recognize the value of our relationships with our equine partners and provide a level of care that promotes their optimal physical, mental, and emotional well-being. We value and foster an environment of personal and professional growth as we strive for experiential excellence.
Our Story
Who we are
The Kamloops Therapeutic Riding Association (KTRA) has been a pillar of support for individuals with medical diagnoses in the Thompson-Nicola Regional District since 1988. We are dedicated to enhancing the cognitive, physical, emotional, and social well-being of our riders through adaptive horseback riding.
We recently moved to Koalrock Equestrian — a beautiful nearly 18-acre property located 8 minutes past Rivershore Estate and Golf Links on Shuswap Rd. For the first time in our history, we have a covered indoor arena, which means no more weather cancellations and four full sessions per year instead of two.
