• Horses in pasture


Dear Urban Stable Community,

After careful consideration, the Urban Stable Board of Directors has decided to stop
programing effective immediately and to close the organization.

The decision to stop operations was a difficult one. Urban Stable has had tremendous impact
over its nearly 25 years of operation. However, the realities of securing funding and grants
in an ever increasingly competitive environment, combined with lower enrolment due to
shrinking schools are budgets, and the rising costs of facility and horses
have been the key factors in this difficult decision.

On behalf of the organization, we would like to thank you for your past support of Urban Stable.
Please know that together we helped impact the lives of so many students
and that is something that will live forever. We will cherish all the memories
we have together through Urban Stable.


Special Message For Our Students

We Are So Proud Of You!

Thank you.

This makes it hard to feel confident, brave, and connected, and hard to engage in learning. When Derek started at Urban Stable his anxiety learning new skills like grooming, picking hooves, and saddling his horse, would seem to get the better of him. He would watch the instructor's demonstrations in tears of anxiety. Derek was determined though to learn these skills. He did not want to take breaks while at the barn, but[...]
