This July, KGUN 9 is shining the spotlight on TROT: Therapeutic Riding of Tucson for our monthly Giving Project.
TUCSON, Ariz. — Each month we focus on a Southern Arizona nonprofit with our"Giving Projec—Doing Well by Doing Good."For nearly 50 years, TROT has been helping enrich the lives of people with special needs by partnering them with horses.
"For an individual with Autism who is always searching for external stimulation, we'll partner them with a horse that has shorter, quicker, faster steps" DeConcini tells me. TROT also relies on volunteers like Jack Hess to take care of the horses. He says working at TROT is very rewarding, especially with young riders with special needs.
