Review for Northwest Therapeutic Riding Center, Bellingham, WA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  


I feel very fortunate also to be a volunteer with NWTRC for about 5 years now. Every riding session I feel so fortunate to be able to witness the miracles for riders with developmental and physical disabilities and their relationship with being on a horse. What is very important to me is the attention given to the safety in all aspects operations for riders and for the horses. Horses are well trained and know their jobs and take good care of their riders. The awesome skilled instructors Hilary and Julia provide lessons with learning experiences tailored to the needs and safety of each rider. Also, this non-profit can operate only with the many wonderful volunteers who give their time and energy, not only in assisting with lessons, but also with the massive amounts of work needed in care for horses (non-glamorous jobs of shoveling manure, cleaning tack, sweeping, maintenance, etc.). NWTRC provides a place for volunteers who love kids and/ or who love horses to give back to our community in a really big way. Mike and Julia Bozzo have more than 20 years of hard work and dedication in making NWTRC a shining star in our community. Through NWTRC I am so fortunate to have met many really neat people who volunteer and have developed friendships through working together for the horses and the kids. Thank you!
