LOPE is excited to announce our Therapy Horse Training Project! Many OTTBs who are limited to flat work still have so much to give. LOPE has selected some OTTBs to go through basic training for future careers as therapy horses. We are consulting with professionals in the therapeutic riding industry for best practice training methods. As part of this initiative, we will include curriculum for training potential lesson horse candidates. Our goal is to prepare OTTBs with wonderful personalities to be successful in important jobs in the therapy and lesson service disciplines. Sometimes the most valuable horses can't jump -- but they can give all their heart to the people who need their help to learn and grow. More details coming soon! (to no one's surprise, Charlie Bull is one of the OTTBs selected for this program -- he is such a sweet, kindhearted horse!)
