About Us
Nipper Knolls Equine Center, (NKEC) a 501c3 non-profit corporation was founded to provide equine assisted services for children who otherwise would never know the enjoyment and benefits of riding and working with horses. Many of the children we serve have special considerations associated with: Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, Down Syndrome, Delayed Development and Sensory Processing Disorder that prevent them from participating in group activities or sports. Our lessons are tailored to meet each riders' specific needs on a 1:1 or 1:2 basis.
In 2017, our services expanded to include an 8 week horsemanship class for military veterans. We are partnered with Saratoga and Washington-Warren County
Peer to Peer Connection services.
It is only through our network of dedicated volunteers and donations that we are able to provide these services.
NKEC is a 100% volunteer organization and all funds received go directly into the program.
