Our Crowdfunding Groups
On behalf of everyone at TTRC, thank you for your donation to this project. With your generosity and support, we will be able to continue positively impacting the lives of our riders and their families!
The Texas Tech Therapeutic Riding Center provides Equine-Assisted Therapies not only statewide, but nationwide, to both children and adults with special needs. The incredible horses that TTRC partner's with in equine-assisted activities, are the foundation of the program. TTRC has been blessed to have two Fjords, King and Queen, that have played crucial roles in our rider's progress. Both King and Queen changed lives for a total of 13 years before retiring from the program. With your support, the Texas Tech Therapeutic Riding Center hopes to raise enough money to purchase two fjords to carry on the legacy King and Queen began! The various levels of giving include the names and brief biographies of both past and present TTRC horses. Thank you for your support!

He partners with us in Therapeutic Riding Lessons, Hippotherapy, and Equine Assisted Counseling and Wellness. We consider him to be our Walmart greeter seeing as how he greets everyone with a friendly "neigh," and pokes his head over the fence, as people enter the property.
