Member Testimonials

Had an awesome time at my first NATRC ride. Able and I went 21 miles in one day and he was ready for more.

Laurel P

I am blessed beyond measures with this amazing horse, incredible mentors, and my supportive family.

Mikayla Nunn

Had a blast at Carolina Derby. 40 miles of wilderness!

Jami Hughey Sullivan

Lots of fun people, trails, and obstacles! It was a extremely well organized event and the trails were marked excellent. The judges were fun and very helpful in answering any questions. Came home with having new friends and what I need to work on in my horsemanship and with my horse.

Crystal

The fun I had, the amount I learned, and the training to come was so worth the weekend!

People ask what the best year of my life was.. it was 2012, the year I got to spend riding with my mom.

I am so grateful for all the friends I've made at NATRC and all the people who have helped us! I am unbelievably lucky to have such a great horse and can't wait to see what we can accomplish in the future!
