Renee Anderson has been a physical therapist since 2017. She worked in an orthopedic outpatient setting until early 2021, and then started to work at HETRA (Heartland Equine Therapeutic Riding Academy) as a therapist utilizing horse movement in her treatment. She loves to see the progress her participants make after riding horses and developing trusting relationships from having the same participants every week.

Dr. Kaiti Otte is a licensed occupational therapist and PATH International Certified Therapeutic Riding Instructor. She serves as the Lead Therapist and Education coordinator at HETRA (Heartland Equine Therapeutic Riding Center) in Gretna, NE where she has been practicing occupational therapy, partnering with the healing help of horses for over 7 years. HETRA’s mission is to improve the quality of life both physically and emotionally of adults and children of all ability levels through equine-assisted services. When she is not in the arena, you can find Kaiti presenting at conferences, coordinating online webinars or hosting guests on her podcast helping everyone to understand that what HETRA does is so much more than Just a Pony Ride.
