Valley Therapeutic Equestrian Association

Dedicated to enriching the lives and to developing the full potential of children and adults with varying abilities and to lead them closer to independence through therapeutic horseback riding, therapy, recreation, life skills and farm related activity. Valley Therapeutic Equestrian Association is a CRA-registered non-profit charitable association that provides medically-approved therapeutic horseback riding and hippotherapy treatments to children and adults of varying abilities. Since 1983, the goal of VTEA has been to enhance the quality of life of our riders by improving their physical, mental, and emotion wellbeing with the help of our gentle and empathetic horses. Our clients find they can interact with their environment in new, powerful, and inspiring ways. The volunteers who assist our clients find a great deal of satisfaction in seeing the outstanding benefits that therapeutic riding and hippotherapy can bring to all ages. VTEA has a team of horses who are selected for their suitability for therapeutic work with clients who are not necessarily horse people. In an equine therapy session horses are regarded as equal partners in the therapeutic process and are treated with dignity and respect as per the National Association of Equine Facilitated Wellness.
