Powell River Therapeutic Riding Association provides Therapeutic Horse Back Riding for children and adults with physical, mental, emotional and learning disabilities. It takes approximately 6,000 volunteer hours a year to run the riding program, special events, facility maintenance, special projects, horse care and more! First Credit Union & Insurance is an ongoing supporter of PR Therapeutic Riding - most recently we proudly sponsored a 10-week spring therapy session for over 70 riders.
