New Canaan Mounted Troop Program is a nonprofit youth development and therapeutic equestrian center in New Canaan, Connecticut. Founded in 1939 by Margaret Cabell Self, the organization combines horsemanship and equine care programming for youth with adaptive riding and equine care services for children and adults with special needs.
Its therapeutic services are offered through the Super Troopers program, which provides adaptive riding and equine care activities for individuals with physical, developmental, cognitive, and emotional needs. The organization describes these services as equine-assisted therapeutic programming rather than a stand-alone medical or rehabilitation clinic.
New Canaan Mounted Troop operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and is a PATH Intl. Center Member. Its therapeutic instructors are PATH and CTRI certified, and its equine-assisted services are part of a larger mission centered on leadership, responsibility, confidence, and horsemanship.
