BE PART OF A COMMUNITY OF HORSE PEOPLE
LOTRA members share a passion for riding horses, and come together in a space where they can enjoy each other's company, get better at their sport, and continue to ride all year round. Many members, now adults, were a part of LOTRA as children back when the indoor arena was built, and now enjoy the barn with their own little ones.

Each week, there are dozens of unscheduled hours when members can make use of the indoor barn—with the option to bring in your own practice cattle. We also offer dedicated times each week for scheduled practices.
HOST OR ATTEND A VARIETY OF EVENTS
Members have the opportunity to rent the arena for a variety of personal and community events—from private practices and family gatherings to larger functions like barn dances or auctions. In addition, LOTRA sponsors events throughout the winter, including competitions and clinics focused on skills improvement.
