Coastal Therapeutic Riding Program (CTRP) is the realization of a dream of parents, professionals and caring people in our community. CTRP is a non-profit program, teaching therapeutic and recreational horseback riding to children and adults with special needs. We began offering our services in 1999.
What is therapeutic horseback riding?
Thereapeutic riding uses the equine-oriented activities for the purpose of contributing positively to the cognitive, physical, emotional, and social well-being of people with special needs. Therapeutic riding provides benefits in the areas of education, sports, recreation, and medicine to individuals with a wide range of disabilities and special needs. The rhythmic action of the horses' gaits relaxes and strengthens riders' muscles and improves body tone, posture, balance, joint mobility and coordination.
No horse experience is required, we will "show you the ropes," and teach you what you need to know. If you have any questions, just shoot us an email. Have a great week, and hopefully we'll see you at the barn!

Food Not Bombs is an all-volunteer global movement that shares free vegetarian/vegan meals as a protest to war and poverty. We collect surplus food that would otherwise go to waste from grocery stores, bakeries and markets, and local farmers, then prepare community meals which are served for free to anyone who is hungry. The central beliefs of the group are:
- If governments and corporations around the world spent as much time and energy on feeding people as they do on war, no one would go hungry.
- There is enough food in the world to feed everyone, but too much of it goes to waste needlessly, as a direct result of capitalism and militarism.
- Vegan food is both healthy and nonviolent.
Food Not Bombs works to call attention to poverty and homelessness in society by sharing food in public places and facilitating gatherings of poor and homeless people.
Anyone who wants to cook may cook, and anyone who wants to eat may eat. Food Not Bombs strives to include everyone.
