Sad News From TRRC
TRRC is sad to share the news that our beloved lesson horse, Coco has crossed the rainbow bridge. Coco wasn't with us long, but she was one of the sweetest horses at TRRC. She was great with all riders, and loved to help new students learn. Unfortunately Coco had an aggressive form of vascular carcinoma. We are deeply saddened by the loss of our friend. The treatment for Coco was very expensive, and TRRC is working hard to pay those bills, as well as the bills brought on when we were trying to keep her comfortable. TRRC is working to find a way to commemorate her and the rest of our passed friends on the TRRC grounds. There are pictures below demonstrating the severity of her illness. If you would like to assist TRRC in a time when vet bills are high, we would greatly appreciate the support.

Check out Adeline (2022) based on true events. A small Midwestern community becomes the epicenter of miracles when a mysterious woman brings a healing horse to town.
Horses reflect our emotions, while at the same time, they seem to know how to give us exactly what we need to soothe the pain. - Barbara Schulte
