We ask everyone to bring in all your pennies. It all goes to the care and up keep of the horses.

Every penny counts!!

Welcome !

VTEA is a registered volunteer-based charity that provides therapeutic horseback riding for children and adults of varying abilities. Our goal is to enhance the quality of life for our riders by improving their physical, mental, and emotional well being with the help of our wonderful horses. The poem, I Can!, by John A Davies sums up what our special children gain through our programs. The volunteers who assist our riders find a great deal of satisfaction in seeing the outstanding benefits that therapeutic riding brings.

The VTEA Riding Centre is located among rolling fields on 256th Street in Aldergrove just south of the Fraser Highway. There are woods on the property with trails that stimulate the senses in a variety of ways. Lessons are ongoing and we have some of the best Instructors and Volunteers that therapeutic riding has to offer.

We have been operating since 1983 and are most grateful for the financial assistance we receive from the Province of British Columbia. Nevertheless to ensure excellence in our programs, fundraising is an ongoing priority.

Why not join us and get involved. You can support this very worthwhile charity in whatever way works for you. Join the Association as a member, become a volunteer or make a donation. Tax receipts can be issued for any donation over $20. Our Tax Registration Number is 11928 0824 RR0001. For more details on this, see a recent blog post on Charitable Tax Receipts And Kindness.
