About Us

Nathalie Green
Director

Nathalie pursued a career in working with horses and people with disabilities. She has been passionate in developing a Therapeutic Riding Program for people with disabilities.

Coming from France and having a wealth of experience and knowledge of horses and the horse world, she studied and trained under the world-renowned Mary Longden, Secretary General of the Federation of Riding for the Disabled. She graduated as a qualified Riding Coach for the disabled from the Riding for the Disabled Association in Australia.

She has managed a number of riding schools in various countries before becoming devoted to teaching those with disabilities. She was instrumental in developing the Riding for the Disabled Association of Dubai in the Middle East, which remains the only stable of its kind in the region. She headed the program, with a large number of classes, many volunteers and six horses that she picked for their docility and trained especially for the task of carrying disabled students. She also managed all the daily planning of the organization.

Nathalie has been providing therapeutic riding instruction in the Louisville area since 2001. TRAIL leased stall and ring space to conduct lessons. In 2004, TRAIL moved into its own home near Simpsonville in Shelby County. The facility includes a stable, fenced pastures, an indoor arena for year-round lessons, a clubhouse, and ready access to a park for trail riding.
