It means to me tears of happiness when I see Chris do something I know that there is no way he could have done this before. It means I feel I am truly blessed by not just Christopher, but by everybody that has anything to do with TROT.

Since that first day, when for the first time she left my side willingly to go and meet her horse, and the 2 years of therapy at TROT, she has blossomed into such a magnificent and confident young girl. She is turning 8 next month and we are still astounded by her ability to reference her memories, love, and learning from her time at TROT.

Oh my goodness, (he's) talking all the time, and it’s like music to my ears. He can’t stop talking, which is a beautiful thing, but being able to hold a conversation, not only at home but with others. Being able to identify the basic things like colors, being more self-sufficient, so it’s like a transformation.

In January 2019 as a new resident of Tucson knowing no one but my son and his family, I found my way to Trot. With experience in Ohio and knowing the value of a therapeutic riding center, Trot seemed to be a good fit for me. Everyone welcomed me with open arms and included me as a valued member of the Trot family immediately--riders included! As I look back now that I am happily settled into my new life in Tucson, I know that Trot was my lodestar. The many good friends I have made and the lives I have been able to touch are truly the reasons I have come to love my desert life.
