Victoria Therapeutic Riding Association

🐴 Please join us in welcoming Bex and Danika to the VTRA team! 🐴

Bex (left) recently moved to Victoria from Denmark after completing a Bachelor’s Degree in Communication and Digital Media. Combining a passion for horses with a desire to help others, Bex has already become a familiar face at VTRA, volunteering as a horse handler since September. They are excited to step into this new role and be part of such a supportive community. Bex is looking forward to building even stronger connections with our riders, volunteers, and families.

Danika (right) was raised on a ranch in Alberta and has spent her life around horses. Her love of riding inspired a career in teaching, and for the past 10 years she has been sharing that passion with riders of all ages and abilities. With a background in Western disciplines including reining, cutting, and cow horse, she has recently also developed a love for dressage. Danika is passionate about helping individuals grow in confidence and experience the unique bond between horses and humans. She can’t wait to meet the incredible people who make VTRA so special.

💙 We are thrilled to have Bex and Danika on board and look forward to all they will bring to our community.

Please help us give them a warm VTRA welcome in the comments! 👏🐴

🤝Skills That Extend Beyond the Arena

The skills developed through Equine‑Assisted Programs don’t stay at the barn.
Communication, confidence, focus, responsibility, and teamwork all carry into school, work, and daily life.

At VTRA, horses help create meaningful learning moments that support long‑term growth.
