Eligibility
Every rider needs to be assessed for the suitability of therapeutic riding and which program best fits their specific needs. Each program has a slightly different referral process and procedure to follow prior to the rider becoming accepted and registered in a program. Riders are required to pay a rider fee with their registration which helps to cover a portion of the program costs.

Please review our program descriptions for more detailed program info. If you are interested in further details please call 250-338-1968 or email cvtrs@telus.net
