Turtle Island Equestrian
Turtle Island Equestrian Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, whose main purpose is to rescue healthy horses and ponies from killer pens and abandonment. This also includes saving horses that are owned by those that can no longer afford to maintain their upkeep and want to see them moved to a safe haven. These animals will be given a home and maintained on a farm in a loving and healthy environment.
They will live on the farm for the purpose of teaching the art of horseback riding and care and maintenance of horses as well as providing trail riding, to both children and adults. Lessons will be made available to learn formal competition in horse shows. In addition, some horses will be made available for adoption.
The organization will also help establish an official Native American Equestrian Team for competitions, to be known as Turtle Island Equestrian Team (TIET). Turtle Island Equestrian Inc. has no affiliations with any specific religious or political organizations.
