Northland Therapeutic Riding Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that focuses on improving the quality of life of children and adults with special needs through equine-oriented therapy and activities. At NTRC, physical and occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, therapeutic riding instructors, volunteers, riders, and horses are partners in the equine-assisted therapeutic process.
Individuals with a wide range of physical, emotional, and learning challenges can benefit from work with the horse. Equine-assisted activities have been shown to improve balance, posture, muscle tone, coordination, and motor development as well as emotional well-being. It’s also fun!
NTRC is located in the strengthening and nurturing environment of Rosewood Stables in Kearney, MO., just 23 miles north of Kansas City.
