Therapeutic Riding Program Partners With Perth Museum
By: Terry O’Hearn – Peth
In a move to bring some of the Lanark County Therapeutic Riding Program (LCTRP) activities back to Perth, a Paint Day was held Sunday, May 1, at the Perth Museum, with eight developmentally disabled children taking part.
Program coordinator Amy Booth said it was the first time staging this type of event, which was meant to be a fundraiser, help raise awareness in the community, and to provide therapy for the youngsters at the same time.
Booth mentioned that although some adjustments to this type of fundraising event may be in order, she was thrilled with the success of the initial attempt, especially with the high level of participation. “We would like to see this happen about twice a year,” she said.
LCTRP is a division of Lanark Community Programs, which is a part of Lanark Renfrew Health and Community Services. Their website describes the program as: “a unique and holistic approach to therapy, rehabilitation, and recreation (which) provides a safe environment introducing disabled children and adults to enjoy the benefits and joys of the healing powers of the horse.”
This year marks the 31st year operating a program. It considers a wide range of physical and mental disabilities for acceptance. There are two farm locations, with Ashland Farm in Beckwith and Perth’s Cedar Rock Farm each having five horses available to the 143 riders taking part.
The partnership between LCTRP and Perth Museum was coordinated by Janet Conlin, who is both an assistant at the museum and associated with the riding program.
