Abstract:

The Foothills Equestrian and Nature Center, also known as FENCE, was founded in 1984. Its 400 acres feature \"multiple training and riding grounds, nature trails, stables for 200 horses, and world-class eventing facilities where many competitions are held each year.\" Another endeavor at the center is TROT, or Therapeutic Riding of Tryon, a program that uses riding of trained horses to \"help the disabled lead better lives through the physical benefits gained from a horse's motion and the emotional and mental benefits from touching and caring for an animal.\"
