About SuMMit Centre
What makes SuMMit Centre so special? PROFESSIONALISM! The Instructors, staff and facility are exceptional.
HISTORY
SuMMit Centre was born out of frustration by Executive Director, Karen Garland. After teaching lessons for over 20 years, Karen changed her focus to therapeutic riding and became certified with Path International. When participating with other therapeutic centers , she found that many programs were not focused enough on therapy or creativity in their lesson plans. Taking the foundation of some of the best programs, using her own farm as a home base, SuMMit Centre was born. With lots of teaching experience, a renovated barn and a well thought out program, we are ready!
