Seeing a child smile when they climb onto a horse for the first time is pure magic. This program helps students reach their goals outside of the traditional classroom, creating confidence and joy in every ride. Visit https://www.catr-program.org/ to see how you can get involved.

Donors act as bridge builders, closing the gap so students can fully participate in our programs. Witnessing former students return as professional staff shows the lasting impact of this support. We all stand on the shoulders of those who came before us. Visit https://www.catr-program.org/ to see how you can get involved.

CATR Instructor, Alexa read Heyward the Horse, Loves Charleston of Course to our Public School Middle School Program this week during session. CATR was thrilled to have Andrew Barton out to Pony Up Family Funfest showcasing and selling his books and advertising for his newest book, Heyward the Horse: A Charleston Christmas.

We look forward to reading the newest book to the trio. Thank you Andrew for coming out to Pony Up Family Funfest and giving back to CATR with a percent of sales coming directly back to the program. 🐴❤️
