TEAD - Equestrian Association For The Disabled

My daughter has been a rider at TEAD for many years. She absolutely loves it and is so happy when she’s on the horse, these days it’s Oliver! The staff and volunteers are amazing! Such a wonderful organization that we are proud to be a part of.

Such a wonderful organization that is professional, safe, fun, and a welcoming space where horses provide a unique form of therapy. Programming is top notch, instructors are THE BEST and you can tell they really love their horses.

I had an amazing experience joining the therapeutic riding sessions offered at T.E.A.D. Ellen, my instructor and wonderful volunteers ,really made me feel comfortable, and confident in every session. They really accommodate you to your needs. I joined the therapeutic riding lessons to improve my mobility. In a short period, I was able to confidently sit and ride holding the reins. I am so grateful for the experience. Looking forward to joining in the upcoming seasons!

TEAD is such a safe, welcoming, magical community for people with or without disabilities who are looking for a deep connection with horses. They offer so many great equine baed programs - from therapeutic riding lessons / Summer Camp/ Equine Assisted Learning / Corporate Wellness programs and MORE! Some are mounted and others are unmounted so it depends on what your preference may be - they make a point of accommodating to your specific needs and finding the right program for you.

This facility keeps all its population in mind. The horses are very well taken care of, and provided with everything needed to make them comfortable and content. The staff is very knowledgeable and approachable, and it’s a great work/volunteer/riding environment. It’s one big family, who respects and cares for everyone and everything on this beautiful picturesque well maintained property.

TEAD is a wonderful organization providing the countless benefits of equine based therapeutic riding and unmounted, wellness focused programming, as well as an integrated summer camp. Programs take place in a safe and inclusive environment, supported by highly trained caring staff and a small army of dedicated volunteers.Interacting with TEAD's beautiful, gentle horses in a peaceful rural setting truly makes a positive difference in the lives of people of all abilities in our community!

TEAD is a very special place. Full of community connection you will meet the incredible volunteers, wonderful staff, amazing riders, and lovely horses!

My daughter just started her therapeutic lessons on Fridays 2 weeks ago and she is just so happy being around the horses, especially Bobby. Melody is super friendly and flexible. When my daughter was feeling anxious, she allowed myself and youngest to stick around. My youngest now wants to join tead!

TEAD is incredibly amazing and will always hold a special place in my heart. My first experience with the program was when I was around 10 years old as a camper which was such a fun, immersive experience. As an adult I volunteered and then worked as a camp counsellor which was also a fantastic experience. The staff are so dedicated to their mission and make everyone feel so welcomed and safe. The horses are so loved and well looked-after. You can really tell how much love and dedication that has gone into the program from the stables to the arena and the entire property itself is beautiful and well-kept. I will always treasure this wonderful place ❤️

My favourite riding stable; keeping riders safe are the instructors first priority and making everyone feel a part of the community is a close second. It’s also a wonderful place to volunteer and learn how to groom, lead, and care for horses.
