Little Bits Therapeutic Riding Association is a non-profit charitable organization that has provided recreational horseback riding with therapeutic benefits in Edmonton since 1975. The program serves children and adults with disabilities and emphasizes skill development, enjoyment, independence, confidence, and physical, emotional, and mental well-being.
The organization runs structured riding sessions throughout the year, including winter, spring, and fall programs, along with a summer riding week. It also offers age-specific programming, including Itty Bits for preschool-aged children, Little Bits for children and youth, and Big Bits for adults.
Little Bits operates at the Whitemud Equine Learning Centre Riding Arena in Edmonton’s North Saskatchewan River valley.
