The Children's TherAplay Foundation

The Children's TherAplay Foundation Children's TherAplay provides physical, occupational & speech therapy for children with disabilities. The list goes on.

At Children's TherAplay, licensed therapists provide children with disabilities physical, occupational, and speech therapy which uses the movement of a horse as a tool to accelerate physical, emotional, and behavioral development. For over 20 years, TherAplay has been treating kids 18 months to 13 years with a variety of diagnosis and developmental delays and we have grown to become the largest fa

cility specializing in hippotherapy in the country. The horse can provide a therapeutic input that cannot be replicated in any other type of therapy. These inputs have allowed our clients to see transformational outcomes, such as children with mobility limitations taking first steps, non-verbal children saying their first words, children learning to feed themselves independently, and dress and care for themselves more independently.

Meet Katrina:
Katrina is a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Outside of TherAplay, she enjoys spending time with her family or playing video games in her free time. You may be surprised to know that Katrina collects small items as she finds them adorable and has gone to both Canada and Mexico!

Katrina started volunteering at Children's TherAplay in August of 2025 since she loves to spend time with children, horses, and being able to serve lovingly. She currently volunteers as a Sidewalker and Groomer. She keeps coming back because she loves the kiddos, the horses, the staff, the volunteers, and of course the work.

⭐"Some of my favorite experiences while volunteering would have to be when I got to meet two of the kiddos who always brighten my day every time I see them, and especially whenever I get to be their sidewalker." - Katrina⭐

The race was close but the results are in and your 2026 Children's TherAplay Horse of the Year is ELLA! 🏆

Ella is our most used therapy horse so it only seems fitting that we celebrate her a little extra this year 🤩This sweet gal is a 17-year-old Welsh Pony. Her lower movement is very rhythmic and versatile which makes her a great fit for our littlest kiddos 👏

Thank you to everyone who voted, donated, and cheered on our horses! We have a herd of winners and your support helped give them the recognition they deserve 🐴
