A Mission Dedicated to Transformation through Horses

The Center for Therapeutic Riding of the East End (CTREE) is a beacon of hope and empowerment on the eastern end of Long Island, New York. For over three decades, we have been harnessing the unique power of horses to transform the lives of individuals with physical, emotional, and cognitive challenges. We are an accredited member center of the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International (PATH Intl), holding the highest standards of care and expertise.

Our Mission in Action

At CTREE, we offer a variety of therapeutic riding programs and equine-assisted activities designed to meet individual needs. Our dedicated team of certified instructors and volunteers work alongside each participant, providing a safe and supportive environment where they can:

• Develop physical skills: Improve balance, coordination, and muscle strength through mounted and ground exercises.
• Boost cognitive abilities: Engage in therapeutic activities that stimulate memory, attention, and decision-making skills.
• Reduce anxiety and stress: Find relaxation and a sense of calm through interaction with our gentle horses.
• Increase self-confidence: Gain a sense of accomplishment through individual progress and bonding with their equine partners.

Supporting Our Mission

CTREE's work is made possible by the generous support of our community. We rely on donations, grants, and volunteers to ensure that we can continue providing transformative experiences for our participants.
