Description
CAN-TR is an organization committed to providing rehabilitative services to those in our community utilizing horses as the medium to deliver rehabilitation. The movements of the horse, riding and working with these animals on the ground provide many physical as well as mental benefits. We have six horses that live and work at the farm, with a staff of three.
