*Rider and Volunteer Forms Below*
Hello and thank you for your interest in the Therapeutic Equestrian Center! We have a great deal to offer our southwestern Michigan and northern Indiana community. Our first rate instructors are accredited with NARHA, the North American Riding for the Handicapped Association and our enthusiastic volunteer staff is well trained and anxious to assist our riders.
Research has shown that equine assisted therapeutic activities have a positive impact on people of all ages with a variety of conditions. Interaction with horses can improve physical, cognitive and mental health for those with special needs. Improved balance, strength and a higher self-confidence, a sense of accomplishment and emotional well being are some of the documented results.
Over the past few months, TEC has grown and made some wonderful changes. We have recently established our new home at Stockbridge Equestrian Center, located at 615 N. M 140, Watervliet, Michigan. Our mailing address is Therapeutic Equestrian Center, P.O. Box 1250, Niles, MIchigan 49120.
Our instructors meet with both new rider and caregiver after the completed paperwork has been received. We will contact the caregiver to schedule an evaluation. At that time, the instructor will decide which type of lesson, horse, and riding tack are the most appropriate. The evaluation must be completed before classes begin so please complete all forms and bring or mail them in as soon as possible.
We look forward to welcoming new riders and volnteers at TEC this year. Be sure call us at (269) 429-0671 as soon as possible for more informaiton. Rider placement must be reserved by returning rider forms found below and a deposit. Balance is due at the time of the first lesson. Volunteers be sure to contact us so we can include you in our next orientation. Any forms you will need can be found below.
Come and make some new friends at TEC! We look forward to working together with
you!
Sincerely,
Therapeutic Equestrian Center Staff
