Therapeutic Riding of Tuscaloosa

Excellent and very well organized therapeutic riding organization. All the paperwork was available to be filled out digitally and the response times are great. We sent a digital inquiry through their website and the whole process went very smoothly. The lesson itself was an hour long and the teacher was great - very calm and patient and good at redirecting my son back to task. He was so excited afterward to come back again!

TROT has been life changing for my autistic daughter! She loves and looks forward to every session she goes to! They really do care about the special needs community and doing great things to have more resources for the community! Great workers and volunteers all around!

Both my children have attended this program. Has been wonderful for both! My son has Autism and the riding encouraged language. My daughter began to ride because of her ADHD. She still rides today and volunteers. The program has helped her with responsibilities and grades. She enjoys volunteering and helps children who have the same type problems that she had and tries to give them the benefit of her experiences. GREAT PROGRAM, GREAT STAFF!

What a fantastic charitable organization—Excellent facility! Very caring human staff, great with children, very kind to parents 😊 and animal staff (my favorites are the friendly horses and goats). TROT fills a much needed therapeutic role with genuine and helpful results. I encourage anyone to visit, speak to Dr Malone and her staff, seek assistance and/or volunteer your skills and time. I can not say enough positive things about TROT.

I have 4 children who have been at TROT and am so thankful we get to take apart in their program! The convenience of our forms being filled out ahead of time online was great. The information collected is thorough enough to create individualized care plans for each child according to their own strengths and weaknesses. The team of staff and volunteers have been kind and compassionate from day one, but they have also been up for the challenge of making the children work towards their goals. The TROT facilities has a nice laid back feel to it, which when your small toddler can chase a chicken and pet a goat while waiting on their sibbling’s lesson to end seems to be a big pro in my books! The staff is so passionate about their animals and teach the children how to respect and love them as much as they do. Forever grateful to have lessons here, hoping they receive enough donors to keep the program running for a long time!

The horse therapy has been a wonderful boost toward recovering from my stroke. The professionalism of the therapists and staff and the well trained horses are make me feel safe as I recover my strength. I love the rustic country atmosphere that makes me feel like I’m at home and tell everyone I meet how much I appreciate TROT.

Humans helping horses make a difference. Friendly staff, and the horses are all perfect for the job. Autistic children and kids struggling with anxiety or depression. Kids and adults alike. They all benefit from working with the horses and the trainers employed here. Don't hesitate to call about volunteering!
