Advancing Equine-Assisted Services - A Community Built on Three Pillars of Care and Inclusion

At BCTRA, our mission is to enhance the lives of individuals with disabilities through the power of equine-assisted services (EAS). Our strength lies entirely in our diverse and dedicated membership, which is built upon three essential pillars:

  • Our Service Providers: The professionals, instructors, coaches, facilitators, centers, and professionals delivering vital therapeutic riding, hippotherapy, and equine-backed mental health, learning, and wellness programs across the province.

  • Our Para-Equestrian Athletes: The dedicated individuals who inspire our community, pushing boundaries and achieving excellence through specialized equestrian sport.

  • Our Community Supporters: The passionate advocates, volunteers, and partners working tirelessly behind the scenes to champion, fund, and elevate our sector.

Together, these three pillars form the heart of our organization, united in employing and advancing the highest standards of equine-assisted therapeutic practices.
