“I CAN” Therapeutic Equestrian Riding Association of Niagara, Inc.

I CAN-T.E.R.'s mission is to create a setting where those with and without special needs can experience the farm for rehabilitation, therapy, education & training, recreation & leisure.

About I CAN-T.E.R.

I CAN Therapeutic Equestrian Riding Association of Niagara, Inc. or better known as I CAN-T.E.R. was founded in January, 1993. It is a non-profit, charitable organization located at 1234 House Road, Ridgeway, Ontario.

It was envisioned that the entire farm would provide an atmosphere where those with special needs could flourish.The wonders of the woods, the creek, the marsh, the gardens would all become part of a very hands-on experience for all who visit. Many “special moments” have taken place over the years which have reinforced our vision. Farm animals, particularly horses, have become “special friends” to many children.

It is because of the commitment, dedication and blessings of many within Niagara, that I CAN-T.E.R. is in existence today. It is our hope that the vision will not only remain before our eyes, but close to our hearts!
