Please help me "Pony Up" for Team Jones! 

I am proud to be a part of the wonderful things that happen with a therapy horse at CATR each day.  In my eyes, all of our horses and ponies are priceless. 

Jones holds a special place in my heart because he has taught many of my students to become more independent riders.  Jones is kind, gentle and extremely patient with riders of all abilities.  He calmly forgives riders' mistakes when they're learning to steer.  He also remains steady when a rider loses his balance or is a little nervous when learning to post the trot.  Thank you, Jones, for giving my students the confidence to try something new and the support they need to persevere to accomplish goals!  The pride they gain while steering you through an obstacle course or trotting a challenging ring figure is the reason I became a therapeutic riding instructor.  Horses like you make CATR's mission possible. 

Thank you for Ponying Up for Team Jones!  Each $25 I raise will provide a therapy horse like Jones for one lesson for a student with a disability.   

Meet Jones

Jones is a Thoroughbred gelding born in 2000.  His favorite part of being a therapy horse is helping students learn to ride independently.  Jones started out as a racehorse, but he much prefers the more relaxed pace of his new job!

At Charleston Area Therapeutic Riding, therapy horses like Jones are the foundation of our program.  Their forgiving temperaments, calm spirits and steady gaits bring joy, mobility and achievement to the children and adults with disabilities who ride at CATR.  For each of our students, a therapy horse can be one of their most meaningful companions, providing them with a uniquely rewarding and life-changing experience.  

We hope you will Pony Up for CATR!  A donation of just $25 gives a student the most valuable piece of their therapeutic riding lesson – a therapy horse!
