Imagine a place where a nonverbal child on the autism spectrum can tell a horse to "walk-on".
Imagine a place where a woman who uses a wheelchair can use a horse's legs to move around instead of her own.
Imagine a place where a horse will stop in his tracks and refuses to move until his rider's seizure has passed. ​

Updated Covid 19 Practices-11/25/21:

Jefferson County is experiencing a significant increase in COVID-19. Jefferson County Public Health (JCPH) requires that  ALL individuals over the age of three wear a mask indoors in public facilities for everyone’s health and safety. 

TRS supports the recommendations of JCPH and encourages all individuals to continue social distance and practice good handwashing practices. Our primary concern is the safety and wellbeing of all clients, volunteers, and staff.  We have therefore updated our practices to the following:

Mask Guidelines for Clients, Volunteers, and Staff:
  • Masks are required while in the following locations when other people are present: Barn aisles, tack rooms, grooming stalls, office, upstairs viewing area
  • Masks are optional in the following areas when maintaining proper social distancing: Indoor arena (including seating deck), barn aisles and stalls when doors are open, outdoor arena, and other outdoor locations
  • Masks are required for all TRS staff and volunteers when within six feet of a client, regardless of where the activity occurs.  
  • If you need to take a mask-off breathing break, please step outside or socially distance in the viewing deck of the indoor arena to do so. 
  • The following exceptions are made for people with disabilities:
    • Children under three years of age are exempt.
    • Those who cannot physically remove their own mask are exempt.
    • Those communicating with someone hard of hearing or with someone who needs to see the mouth for communication may temporarily remove their mask to do so.
    • Clients and any parents/caregivers who cannot wear masks are asked to go directly to the viewing area and not linger in the aisleways.

Covid 19 Exposure and Travel:
  • If you have knowingly been exposed to COVID-19 and are not vaccinated, please quarantine for a full seven days before returning to the barn, or have a negative test.  Fully vaccinated individuals do not have to quarantine or be tested unless symptoms develop.

Cleaning and Sanitation:
  • All staff, volunteers, and clients will wash their hands or use hand sanitizer at regular intervals.  Staff and volunteers must wash their hands between lessons.
  • Staff and volunteers will clean all materials and surfaces at regular intervals.
Note:  These are The Right Step, Inc.’s practices and not necessarily the practices of Denver Equestrians, whose facility we lease.  Everyone is encouraged to use their best judgment and do what they feel is best for their own health and safety.
