It has been my pleasure to be a donor to BTR for many years. This organization is deeply committed to the health and happiness of those who use their services. The staff is top notch, the animals are carefully selected to match the needs of the persons they are assigned to, and the facility is beautifully maintained. I have recommended BTR countless times over the years and will continue to do so. There are organization that deserve all the financial assistance they can get. I will continue to donate to BTR as long as I possibly can.
What an amazing experience to witness the care and giving that happens every day at the Olson's ranch. I have attended two of their events and, at times, been able to volunteer. I am the one who walks away fulfilled. The children and adults that come to this organization are cared for, given an opportunity to laugh and grow, heal, in ways I couldn't have imagined until I witnessed it first hand. If you have a reason to utilize this type of therapy....this is the place, these are the people.
Being part of the Bitterroot Therapeutic Riding family is my honor and privilege. Riders, adults and children alike, have such fun and look forward to their weekly time on their horse. Some of the most withdrawn students, smile, talk and bond with their horse when they won't communicate with humans.
It is a fantastic program and definitely alters the rider's life experience.
