Last year, with the support of Canadian Tire Corporation, Jumpstart Charities disbursed $8 million through its Sport Relief Fund, fulfilling nearly 700 grant applications, to help organizations continue to operate through 2020.
We are proud to announce that we were chosen as a recipient for a grant this year. We would like to thank Jumpstart for the support!

We would like to thank the Powell River Health Care Auxiliary for their continued support for the care of our horses.
Previous donations allowed us to purchase our beautiful Zora, a "silver or grey" Fjord mare who is an excellent therapy horse for all our riders, from pre-schoolers to adults.
Thank you again!
