Who We Are

Calgary Therapeutic Riding Association (CTRA), formerly 4:13 Therapeutic Riding, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to enriching lives through the connection between humans and horses. CTRA provides therapeutic riding and equine-assisted programs for children, youth, and adults living with physical, cognitive, emotional, and developmental challenges.

 

Through guided interactions with specially trained horses, participants build strength, balance, coordination, confidence, and independence in a safe and supportive environment. Beyond the physical benefits, CTRA fosters emotional well-being, social connection, and a sense of belonging. Supported by passionate instructors, volunteers, and gentle, intuitive horses, CTRA is more than a riding program, we are a community where growth, confidence, and joy come to life.
