Laura Jones

Therapeutic Riding Instructor, COTA

From Laura: “I have been an animal lover since the day I entered the world. An avid equestrian, I ride regularly, although I don’t own a horse. My passion is dressage, although I have done many things (from chasing cows to endurance racing). My dog, Wilbur, and I spend lots of time together, often serving as a ‘therapy team’. I love my profession of occupational therapy!

In addition to TH, I work full-time in special education. I have lots of certifications, but nothing supersedes my passion for promoting the benefits and joy that the human-animal connection has brought to me and so many others. I worked at two other equestrian therapy programs prior to starting at Therapeutic Horsemanship in 2005.”
