Therapeutic horse riding is a special focus of the academy. Each programme is planned for the individual after an evaluation and combines riding with therapeutic exercises on horseback.

The person behind the academy

Meet Carla-Anne

Carla-Anne Luttig began riding at three and gave her first riding lessons at nine. After school, she studied officiating and coaching at Tshwane University of Technology, completing her degree with a thesis in therapeutic horse riding.

Her aim is to help children, with or without physical or emotional disabilities, find a sense of accomplishment, confidence and joy around horses. She wants them to enjoy the same warm feeling she knew as a child in their company.
