Review for Naples Therapeutic Riding Center, Naples, FL, USA
When I was 8 I went to an inclusive summer camp at NTRC and fell in love. I wanted to be just like the teenage volunteers, but you had to be 12 to volunteer with NTRC. The day after my 12th birthday I was trained as a sidewalker. That was in 2006 and I am still a volunteer today! In college I volunteered at a therapeutic riding stable in New Smyrna Beach and one in England (when I studied abroad)! Because of NTRC I found my passion for working with children with special needs and became a special education teacher nine years ago! I now am so lucky to get to volunteer at NTRC with some of the students I teach and not only see their progress in my classroom, but the amazing things they do on horseback as well!
