Banbury Cross is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing opportunities for therapeutic riding to individuals in southeastern Michigan. We are a North American Riding for the Handicapped Association (NARHA) Premier Accredited Center and proudly follow all techniques for teaching and standards for safety established by the association. Banbury Cross TEC was established to better the quality of life for people of all disabilities through therapeutic equestrian activities. The center provides the opportunity for each rider to develop to his or her greatest potential. Through training and involvement of volunteers Banbury Cross also hopes to strengthen understanding toward people with disabilities.
As a non-profit organization, Banbury Cross welcomes and appreciates support and donations from our community and its leaders. Many people, organizations and companies have generously offered their assistance in terms of time, services and money to help Banbury Cross grow and mature. With their help and that of others, such as you, we will continue to provide quality therapeutic equestrian services and opportunities to individuals with disabilities.
