A great story starts with a few key elements … A strong plot, beautiful setting, and heartfelt characters.  Our plot has been evolving since 2006, but the core remains the same, and that is to provide a year-round facility for people with disabilities to build stronger minds, bodies, and spirits through horse-related activities.  And there’s no doubt our story’s setting is absolutely beautiful since we get to work with amazing animals in a country setting.  Our horses are the heart and soul of the organization, but the characters in our story truly make it memorable.  From our handful of paid staff to our troop of volunteers, these characters working together ensure our participants achieve their “I Did It!” moments in their own story.  You can be a part of the TEC story and help us continue building on the foundation of how it all began.  Join our team today!
