Our Legends of the West Gala was an unforgettable celebration of community, impact, and the incredible people who make CTRC possible. From cowboy boots to rock ’n’ roll glam, the evening was filled with laughter, generosity, inspiring stories, and a whole lot of heart.

Thanks to our amazing supporters, sponsors, volunteers, riders, and guests, we came together to celebrate 46 years of changing lives through equine-assisted services. Your support helps CTRC continue providing hope, healing, and empowerment to riders of all ages and abilities.

We are thrilled to share that, thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, the Legends of the West Gala reached its fundraising goal! 🎉🤠🎸

This achievement belongs to all of you.

Thank you to our sponsors, donors, auction item contributors, guests, volunteers, staff, board members, riders, families, and supporters who came together to make this event such a tremendous success. Every ticket purchased, auction bid placed, sponsorship secured, volunteer hour given, and donation made helps ensure that people with disabilities can continue to experience the life-changing benefits of equine-assisted services at CTRC.

The impact of your support extends far beyond one evening. It helps provide riding lessons, therapy sessions, horse care, scholarships, and opportunities for hundreds of riders each year. It helps create moments of confidence, independence, connection, and joy that change lives.

We are deeply grateful for this community and the many ways you invest in our mission. Together, we are making a difference, one rider, one horse, and one life at a time.

Thank you for helping make Legends of the West a legendary success. 💙🐴

🐴 Help Change Lives: CTRC Is Seeking New Herd Members

Colorado Therapeutic Riding Center is seeking horse donations and leases to help us continue changing lives through equine-assisted services.

Our ideal candidates are:
• Between 6 and 20 years old
• Between 11hh and 17.2hh
• Sound at the walk, trot, and canter
• Calm and comfortable around people of all ages and abilities

When a horse joins the CTRC herd, they become part of a program dedicated to exceptional care. Our horses benefit from:
• A team of experienced veterinarians, farriers, and training professionals
• Care focused on their physical and mental well-being
• Staff and volunteers who love and care for our horses as if they were their own

The right horse can make an incredible impact, helping riders build confidence, independence, strength, and connection.

If you know of a horse that may be a good fit for our program, we'd love to hear from you!
