Nancy Trott – PATH Intl. Certified Therapeutic Riding Instructor
A Georgia resident since 1969, Nancy began riding at age 8. As a child, she trained and competed at local shows, in both Western and English classes.
As a parent of children with disabilities, Nancy discovered the wonders of equine therapy and put her children into a hippo therapy/therapeutic riding program. She was so impressed with their progress that she decided to become a regular volunteer. Realizing she could combine her equestrian experience with her knowledge of disabilities, Nancy decided to work towards her instructor certification.
Nancy became a PATH (Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship) International Certified Therapeutic Riding Instructor in 2007 and has witnessed many students reap the benefits of therapeutic riding. She develops individualized lesson plans geared towards each student’s unique needs and carefully choses the right horse for each rider. Nancy encourages her students to challenge themselves, coaching some students as equestrian athletes for the Special Olympics of Georgia.
