  • Claremont Therapeutic Riding Center (CTRC) provides horse riding for therapy, sport, recreation and training for children and adults of all abilities.
  • With a focus on inclusion and participation, CTRC is striving to provide the best facilities, horses and well trained staff to uphold the aim of providing a center of valuable community benefit in the heart of Perth.
  • Lessons provide both therapy and learning experience for the participating riders psychologically as well as physically.
  • Their qualified coaches (Equestrian Australia, AHRC, CTRC accredited) are trained to work with a wide variety of disabilities: cerebral palsy, autism, hearing, vision and intellectual impairment, multiple sclerosis, acquired brain injury and paraplegia.
  • Quality of life is improved by participation in a sporting activity that provides therapeutic and recreational benefits that are both mentally and physically stimulating; it allows people with disabilities to be active participants, not just observers.
  • Social contact and involvement with the community is an important aspect of our center. Once participants have reached an accepted standard, we endeavor to integrate our riders into other equestrian environments such as pony clubs, adult riding clubs, trail riding, dressage competitions and ultimately Para and Special Olympics.
