Welcome!
Founded as Silhouette Farm in 1993, the Equine Discovery Center (EDC) underwent a name change in 2009 to better reflect our services and programs. The EDC offers interactive equine and nature-related adventures for schools, clubs, families and adults. We also provide a friendly, relaxed barn community for you and your horse.
