                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 9, 2024

  Mr. KEAN of New Jersey. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of 
Colleen O'Dea, the owner of the Equine Tranquility Wellness Center 
(ETWC) in Andover, New Jersey. The ETWC has been teaching therapeutic 
horseback riding lessons to individuals of all ages since 2010. In that 
time, it has grown to become the largest Equestrian Center in New 
Jersey that provides annual lessons and holds competitions for the NJ 
Special Olympics. Colleen and her staff remain incredibly committed 
year-round to assisting individuals with developmental and intellectual 
disabilities, and to growing their program to include all those in 
need. I am honored to have incredible people like Colleen in New 
Jersey's 7th Congressional District, who are dedicated to providing 
invaluable services to our community.
