TEC is a nonprofit 501(c)3 service organization that provides year-round, horse-related activities, and therapeutic riding to people young and old with special needs, including veterans and active military members.  Our programs are designed to help children to seniors find hope, reach beyond their expectations, and discover unlimited possibilities.  We do this by engaging the power of horses to challenge, inspire, and strengthen their bodies, minds, and spirits.  TEC is open to residents living with special needs in Berrien, Cass, and Van Buren countries. 

Our programs meet the therapeutic needs of children and adults living with a wide range of physical, cognitive, neurological, and emotional disabilities.  Through horse-related interaction and learning riding skills, many participants enhance social interactions, expand speech and language skills, learn teamwork, gain self-confidence, increase emotional control, and much more!
