Eagle Mount Therapeutic Riding Center is a place that creates therapeutic recreation opportunities for people of all ages and disabilities. Their equine program specifically works to improve the lives of individuals with disabilities by providing purposeful, safe and supervised interaction with horses. The Today Show chose Eagle Mount because of their tremendous efforts in improving conditions in their communities. With the donation from Troxel, they will be able to provide helmets to over 100 riders.

“We are thrilled to be a part of this wonderful cause and donate Troxel helmets through ‘Lend a Hand,’ especially after learning these helmets would help those with special needs achieve the previously unthinkable in horseback riding,” said Shay Timms, CEO of Troxel.

Troxel donated a variety of helmets to meet the needs of Eagle Mount, which caters to people of all ages and disabilities. The comfortable, stylish Cheyenne, the youth-friendly Legacy and the best-selling helmet in North America– the Spirit, which features an easily adjustable dial that will safely fit the widest range of riders.
