An Edmonton family is expressing frustration because their 12-year-old daughter, who has a rare disorder, cannot access the horse therapy she needs.

Edmonton’s Whitemud Equine Learning Centre Association is currently closed because of public health restrictions put in place due to COVID-19.

Taya Nolan, 12, has a rare disease and has been visiting the centre with Little Bits Therapeutic Riding for several years. “She talks about it all the time. She knows that she’s missing out so it makes her sad,” Jennifer said. “Horseback riding mimics the actual movement of walking, so someone could have that sensation of this is how it feels to walk,” Andrea Wiebe with Little Bits Therapeutic Riding Association said.
