  • Our Riding Programs
    Our programs run from April – October, with day
    and evening classes available.
    Clients ride once a week.
    Clients learn how to groom, saddle or harness,
    play mounted game, do mounted exercises,
    learn riding and driving skills, take trail rides
    or drives, remove saddle/harness, do a final grooming
    and thank their horse with a special horse
    treat or carrot, then return horses to pasture.
  • Our Driving Program
    Our Driving Program provides the opportunity for
    any individual whose physical limitations prevent
    mounting and riding a horse. Our horse-drawn
    vehicles are wheelchair accessible. The horse is
    driven with two sets of lines – one for the driver,
    the other for the helper. All that is required
    is some dexterity in the hands, a desire
    for fresh air, and a love of horses.

Located at Rainbow Stables, Timmins Therapeutic Riding Association (TTRA) is a registered charitable organization committed to improving the quality of life for disabled young people and adults in our community.
Therapeutic riding is used to teach riding skills to children and adults with disabilities and is beneficial for a wide range of cognitive, physical, and emotional conditions. Individuals of all ages are exposed to a wonderful sense of freedom and achievement.
