Welcome to Rising Tide

Therapeutic Equestrian Center Inc.
2011 has been a full and exciting year for Rising Tide -- new riders, new volunteers, new staff and board positions and a new Executive Director. In November, we welcomed Risë Terney as the new Executive Director. Risë brings to Rising Tide extensive work in the nonprofit sector, both on and off Island. Vickie Thurber, our tireless founder and former Executive Director, has joined the board of directors. Kara Thibodeau, one of our PATH-certified instructors, became our administrative assistant and bookkeeper. Christine Arenburg, another PATH-certified instructor, is the barn manager.
Last July, on a perfect summer evening, over 300 friends of Rising Tide (including our horses) attended our cocktail party and auction on the spectacular grounds of the Cagney estate in Chilmark. Guests sipped wine, dined on hors d'oeuvres, bid on such items as an Allen Whiting painting or Chilmark Getaway, and watched young Grace Carroll on horseback, demonstrating the confidence and skill she has gained through our programs. Stay in touch for news about next summer's event!
Throughout the summer our instructors and volunteers (who came from as far as California and lllinois) worked with a record number of clients, including our friends at Camp Jabberwocky. Of course, many volunteers continue to help us throughout the year and are an essential part of the Rising Tide family. Consider becoming a volunteer! For more information, contact us at info@risingtidetec.org or 508.693.1185.
Rising Tide is a unique program on the Vineyard for people who face physical, mental and emotional challenges. Referrals come from occupational and physical therapists, Martha's Vineyard Hospital, Community Services, physicians, social workers, psychologists, and schools. Countless children and adults who have participated in our therapeutic riding program have acquired better coordination, strength, self-confidence and social skills.
Please remember Rising Tide as you complete your holiday giving. Just click and donate on line. Continue to visit our web site for news about our programs and upcoming events. We look forward to seeing you in 2012.
Wishing you happy holidays and all the best in the New Year,
Clare Harrington
President, Board of Directors
