New Students

CATR's approach to Equine Assisted Services (EAS) is modeled after the PATH Intl. methods of providing services to individuals with disabilities. We offer lessons to individuals and groups of students. Students with disabilities range from ages 4 and up. Our certified instructors aim to strengthen individual abilities and improve skills related to both horsemanship and life goals.

Lessons are held Monday through Saturday at our beautiful 43-acre farm located on Johns Island, SC.

Currently, our sessions are as follows:

• Fall Session - 12 weeks - September - December

• Spring Session - 12 weeks - February - May
