At NCTRC, horses are key to what we do—helping children and adults with autism, cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury and many other challenges gain strength, communication, focus, balance and self esteem. Every day at the farm, we see amazing results in our riders, whether it’s learning to talk, walking more easily, making new friends or developing confidence.

Each of our riders has a special horse that is helping them achieve these results. We may not have flashy thoroughbreds in our line of work, but we do have eight super stars: Daisy, GiGi, Six, Buddy, Nora, Dooley, Sebastian and Star. So, place your bets and it’s off to the races at NCTRC!

Check out our team member fundraising pages to read about each of our terrific therapy horses and then place your bet on the horse of your choice in the form of an online donation to NCTRC—or you may make your donation from this page. The great news is that no matter which horse wins this race, our current and future riders will all be winners thanks to your generous support of NCTRC.
