The Right Step Inc.
We were incorporated on December 23rd 2008 as a not for profit business. On March 4th 2010 the IRS determined that we are a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization.
The organization grew out of the therapeutic riding program at Coventry Farms. The Right Step relies primarily on volunteer efforts, most notability from Coventry Farms who is committed to the success of The Right Step inc. Coventry Farms has an ongoing business relationship with The Right Stem Inc to provide facilities, qualified horses, professional support, and anything else needed by The Right Step Inc. Much of this is provided at a loss which is currently absorbed by Coventry Farms. The Right Step Inc's long term goals are to provide therapeutic riding in a sustainable manner.
