NOTRA has been in existence since 1984. Horse therapy, also known as equestrian or equine-assisted therapy, is a versatile treatment program for recovery and aid for all kinds of medical conditions. This includes PTSD, autism and mood disorders.

Unlike smaller therapy animals like dogs, horses are known for their empathy 91裸聊视频� for attuning themselves with human emotion and cultivating a calming effect.

NOTRA holds two sessions annually, one in spring and one in fall. The next session begins in September.
