Our Feature Friday this week is @thecapshield! It Our Feature Friday this week is @thecapshield! It is thanks to their very generous donation that we were able to bring our volunteers and riders back onto the property and see the horses. For some of our riders this was their first trip out of the house since mid March and the smiles were truly heartwarming even if hidden by face masks. Our staff felt well protected behind their Cap Shields and found them comfortable to wear even when the temperature rose. We are now able to restart our program for some of our riders in July with our volunteers protected by Cap Shields. This donation is truly a game changer, and we are incredibly grateful!
Happy Canada Day! With good food and great company Happy Canada Day! With good food and great company the TROtt herd sure knows how to celebrate! We wish you a fun day with loved ones and something good on the BBQ! 🇨🇦

#TBT to the super fun tack sale put on by TROtt su #TBT to the super fun tack sale put on by TROtt supporter Amanda! Thank you for supporting TROtt! We are so thankful for all the support we’ve had over the years from the Ottawa area equestrian community. We truly value everything you’ve all done to support our riders and horses ❤️ Our hearts go out to all of the equestrian facilities struggling in these tough times.
Ontario’s phased reopening plan released on Thur Ontario’s phased reopening plan released on Thursday, May 14, notes that equine facilities are reopening for boarders and, as of May 19th, riding lessons at barns can resume under certain restrictions. While this is very good news for the industry and a positive move in the right direction for us, social distancing and a cap on the maximum size of gatherings (i.e., five people including an instructor) are still in place at this time. Therapeutic riding relies on support from volunteers as horse handlers and side walkers, who are required to remain in close proximity to our riders for their safety. The nature of these activities mean the social distancing requirement of two metres cannot generally be observed and, as such, we will not be able to restart therapeutic riding programs until social distancing and group size restrictions can safely be lifted. As the only accredited therapeutic riding school in the Ottawa area, we recognize our program and special horses fill an important need in our community for our riders and their families who rely on our services. We remain committed to protecting the health and safety of our staff, volunteers, riders and their families, and will keep everyone updated as the situation evolves. We thank you for your continued support during this most difficult time. Stay safe, TROtt
This weeks Feature Friday is another new addition This weeks Feature Friday is another new addition to the TROtt herd. Meet Buddy! He arrived at TROtt February 13th from the Belleville area and has already stolen the hearts of those who've met him. Buddy is curious and loves to look into anything new. He's a registered welsh pony with the name Benrey Kyro. Like his best friend Milou, Buddy loves children and is looking forward to getting started in lessons. We know his riders and volunteers will love his smooth movement! Buddy has already become the perfect addition and look forward to having everyone meet him!
