Rundle riders
We are always preparing for the Rundle Riders Therapeutic Riding program at Camp Chief Hector YMCA for the upcoming season.
Rundle Riders Therapeutic Riding program has been very fortunate to facilitate our program in the Spring, Summer and Fall at Camp Chief Hector since 2000! Through the years we have seen some amazing achievements by the participants and we look forward to continuing on with new and returning participant’s horsemanship experience and skills. The therapeutic riding allows the participants wonderful physical therapy on the back of a horse to strengthen and stretch muscles. There is also the special bonding of the participants with our horse friends at Camp Chief Hector YMCA that makes this experience so unique and fulfilling for all!
Our Vision
We champion the benefits and joys of equine activities for those with diverse physical, cognitive, emotional and behavioural needs in the Bow Valley.
Our Mission
- Provide safe and adaptive equine activities for those of all ages.
- Through connections with the horses the participants build confidence, strength, independence while having fun.
- Our village of volunteers and partners are instrumental in the program’s success.
Our Value Statements
Teamwork We achieve more when we collaborate and work together.
Adaptability We tailor each participant’s lesson based on their individual needs.
Diversity Each member’s unique story brings strength to our program.
Respect We value and treat people, horses and the land with dignity and professionalism
Accountability The board and members are committed, fiscally responsible and provide a safe, inclusive environment.
Connection We build friendships and partnerships within the Bow Valley and equine community.
Our Volunteers
Alberta Equestrian Federation for its generous support that helped RRTRA to send two members to the CanTRA Mentorship Clinic, in April, in Lethbridge in Alberta. Participation in these clinics builds instructor and volunteer skills, as well as our connections with other CanTRA therapeutic riding programs in Alberta.
