TEC’s services the special need communities of Berrien, Cass and Van Buren Counties. But riders are not the only ones who benefit. “The experience I have had as a volunteer has been so positive, the people here are so amazing in what they do to help others” said, Sue Ann S. a fellow TEC volunteer.

The Therapeutic Equestrian Center (TEC) is a non-profit 501(c)3 that was founded in 2005. TEC provides year-round therapeutic horseback riding as well as other equine assisted activities to individuals with special needs. TEC collaborates with Blossomland Learning Center, a local school, to provide Saddle STARS, a school based program using horses as a theme. These programs are possible because of TEC’s team of dedicated volunteers.
