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.

In addition, LOTRA sponsors events throughout the winter, including competitions and clinics focused on skills improvement.
