About Us

Nipper Knolls Equine Center, (NKEC) is a 501c3 non-profit corporation and home to the Alfred Z. Solomon Veterans Program. This is a free 8-week horsemanship class for military veterans and members of law enforcement. It is a peer-to-peer setting and participants may invite a friend or family member to share the experience with them.
We are partnered with Saratoga and Washington-Warren County
