TROtt’s very special, well-behaved horses are chosen for their temperament, size, breed, type of gait and other important qualities. New horses are taken through an extensive training period which enables TROtt to provide a safe, structured, goal-oriented program. Once in the herd, they continue with on-going training to fine tune those skills. These very special horses are the key to the physical, social, cognitive and educational activities that we offer at TROtt.
