MCE is a member of PATH Int’l (Professional Assoc. for Therapeutic Horsemanship, Int’l).

We welcome Veterans, First Responders, and children facing life adversities!

Having several professional careers, teaching individuals with or without challenges has been the most satisfying. Each day, I come home grateful that I'm privileged to help another. In some cases, I work with behavioral horses problem solving which may take some time, but the results are worth it!
