Supporting the industry. Educating the community.
Therapeutic Riding Association of Virginia (TRAV), Inc. is a nonprofit organization formed in 1986 to foster the concepts of equine-assisted activities for individuals with disabilities. There are currently over 20 member centers in the Commonwealth. Each operating center is a member of NARHA, complies with accreditation standards, and certifies their instructors through NARHA. TRAV individual members include program administrators, instructors, therapists, volunteers, parents, riders, and other therapeutic riding enthusiasts.
Here’s how you can help:
- Volunteer at a center near you. You don’t have to be “horsey” to help.
- Support the center’s on-going fundraising efforts.
- Donate needed goods or services to a center of your choice.
- Donate a sound, gentle horse or pony.
- Become a NARHA certified instructor — many more are needed!
- Advocate for equine-assisted activities in your local community.
