The Graham C. Lount Family Foundation is instrumental in supporting Urban Stable. Their trust-based approach to philanthropy is invaluable to the sustainability of our programs.
We are so thankful for their support through another 3-year multi-year grant! We truly value our partnership with them, the transparent and responsive communication, the open conversations, the meaningful connection, and the relationship we share and have built together.
A huge Thank You to the Graham C. Lount Family Foundation for your steadfast support and valued partnership in unbridling youth potential!
We have been chosen as a recipient of Kal Tire’s for Good program!
Kal Tire is donating a set of new winter tires for our program vehicle so we can continue to transport students from their schools to the barn and back again.
Our program vehicle is essential to the success of our program. Being able to transport our students to and from the barn ensures all youth have a chance to experience the life-changing positive impact our horses have, not just youth with personal access to a vehicle.
Thank You Kal Tire – Tires for Good for driving positive change in our community and helping open up the magic of our horses to so many youth!
This summer we offered our Horse Powered Reading Summer Program. Through hands-on learning experiences with horses, like a horse style escape room game, youth built confidence, ignited a renewed interest and passion for literacy, and empowered their road to reading, all while having fun with their horse!
Now, as back-to-school is here, we are preparing for the start of our fall programs. We are meeting with schools and teachers, working together to connect students facing challenges with our horses.
We are also meeting the students who will be joining us for the 2024-2025 year. We are eager to welcome back students who started their Urban Stable adventure last year, and feel the privilege of witnessing the incredible experience of new students meeting a horse for the first time.
We are looking forward to seeing and supporting the growth these students will achieve as they unbridle their potential with their horses and to sharing some of their stories with you throughout the year!
The Winnipeg Foundation continues to be a major supporter and partner of Urban Stable. We are profoundly grateful for their steady and ongoing support.
Professional development training for our instructors to become certified in Horse Powered Reading, a program we offered youth this summer, was made possible by The Winnipeg Foundation. What a gift to help youth build confidence and a renewed passion for literacy, all while having fun with their horse.
Our School Program is also supported by The Winnipeg Foundation through their Children and Youth Programs grant. Without grants like this we wouldn’t be able to open our doors to the youth we serve. We are so thankful for this generosity and The Winnipeg Foundation’s belief in building a positive future and community for all.
Thank You to The Winnipeg Foundation!
