Cincinnati Therapeutic Riding and Horsemanship (CTRH) is a 501(c)3 non-profit whose mission is to provide a comprehensive recreational and therapeutic horseback riding program for children and adults with disabilities in the greater Cincinnati area. We are committed to the principle that people with disabilities are entitled to the same opportunities and rights as their non-disabled peers.

CTRH, a Premier Accredited Operating Center, operates under the rules and regulations of NARHA. Founded in 1985 by Sue Radabaugh, Chile Rodgers, and Bobbi Thies, CTRH served five riders in its inaugural year. CTRH has since grown to serve over one hundred riders in both hippotherapy and recreational riding classes. The growth of the program has been a testament to the quality of service and the response of the community from volunteers and contributors.

Our program would not exist without the people who give their heart and hands to volunteer. All that we are able to do depends on their assistance and availability.

Please remember that the instructor is managing horses, riders, volunteers, visitors and whatever else may be occurring in the surrounding area all at the same time. Therefore, if you are an observer, we ask that you sit quietly in the designated area. Only volunteers and riders are allowed in the riding arenas. NARHA standards limit the tack room, stall aisle way and arenas to riders and volunteers only.

We welcome any comments and suggestions.  If you are unable to speak to us before or after class, please call our office at (513) 831-7050 and leave a message--we will be in touch as soon as possible.  Just a reminder: the stable is only open to riders & volunteers during scheduled class times.  Visitors are not permitted on the grounds at any other time unless accompanied by an instructor or an appointment has been scheduled

Thank you for being a part of CTRH to see and feel the magic of how the horse makes the difference!
