Lethbridge Therapeutic Riding Association is a registered charity that has served southern Alberta since 1976. Originally founded as Rainbow Riding Centre, the organization has grown from a grassroots riding program into a broader therapeutic riding and equine wellness centre.
The organization provides therapeutic riding, adaptive riding lessons, and equine-facilitated wellness services for individuals of all ages and abilities, including people living with disabilities and others facing barriers. Its program offerings also include peer-to-peer programming, senior support programs, and a subsidy program intended to improve access to services.
LTRA operates on a 44-acre site east of Lethbridge with indoor and outdoor riding arenas, stables, paddocks, pastures, and the Kinsmen Learning Centre for offices, training, and classroom use. The organization says it now serves over 350 students annually.
