12 Days of Christmas at NTRC
A festive way to support the horses and participants of
Northland Therapeutic Riding Center this holiday season.
This December, we’re celebrating the season with a familiar 12-day holiday tradition at the barn.
Each day features a new verse of a classic Christmas song, inspired by the everyday supplies that help keep our horses healthy, comfortable, and ready to support the participants we serve through therapeutic riding.
You can join us for one day or all twelve. Every gift helps keep the barn running and the herd cared for during this busy winter season.
How the 12 Days of Christmas Fundraiser Works
Each day of our 12 Days of Christmas highlights a different barn supply that supports our therapeutic riding program and contributes to the life-changing therapy our participants need.
You can participate in two ways:
By sending an item directly from our wish lists (linked below)
Or by donating funds to help us purchase that item or similar supplies as needed (using the form to the right)
However you choose to give, your support helps ensure our horses and facility are ready to welcome participants each week.
