This holiday season, give the gift of transforming lives through the therapeutic power of horses.

Support our annual appeal to help us continue to transform lives.

CTREE provides therapeutic riding lessons and equine assisted services to children and adults with emotional, cognitive and physical disabilities.

CTREE offers a wide range of programs including therapeutic riding lessons, cancer support groups, and after school programs with the Bridgehampton Childcare and Recreation Center.

As a nonprofit organization, CTREE relies on the support of individuals and foundations to subsidize more than 90% of our operating costs each year. Program fees cover less than 10% of our annual costs and 1/3 of our riders need financial assistance to participate.

When you donate to CTREE, you enable children and adults of the East End to participate in an individualized, effective, and affordable therapeutic experience regardless of their financial background.

All contributions are tax deductible.

“My neurodivergent 13-year-old daughter has been transformed by her CTREE experience. She had been bullied by her middle-school classmates, and we were desperately seeking a way to restore her confidence and joy. What CTREE gave us was even more than we had hoped for.

The horsemanship skills she is learning also serve as powerful life skills, and the connection she has with the horses and her extraordinary instructors are restoring her sense of trust. To merely say thank you feels inadequate; words cannot express our family's gratitude for giving our daughter hope for the future.”
