STRC’s goal is to be a premier equine-assisted therapy organization in Garland County and surrounding area. By utilizing the therapeutic power of horses through equine-assisted therapy services, we can positively affect the lives and families of people with disabilities and people with mental health needs.

STRC was the vision of Katja Summerlin who, along with her husband, Zach, wanted her son who has Down Syndrome to have the option of accessing what she knew were the therapeutic powers of horses. Starting this center is their calling.

STRC is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. EIN: 84-1747932
