One of the best sounds in the world has to be the horses nickering for breakfast and then munching away after.

Our recent, 50/50 winner Sandra Driedger, is mom to Clara, one of our riders. We are always happy to see their smiling faces at the barn and the horses are too as they sometimes bring treats! 🥕🍎

A huge thank you to everyone who supported us this spring through the raffle, the hanging basket sale, and Cohen's vet care campaign. Every little bit makes a real difference!

Thank you to everyone who attended our open house last weekend. Over 200 people came out and we’re still a bit speechless.

Thank you to every volunteer and staff member who helped make the day happen, we couldn't have done it without you. And a huge thank you to the BC Hot Rod Association for your ongoing support and for bringing your beautiful cars to our centre. It added something really fun and memorable to the afternoon.

We can’t wait to do this all again next year!

Cohen update!

A big thank you to everyone who supported the fundraiser for Cohen’s care and shared his story online. We are SO grateful!

A few weeks ago, Cohen underwent enucleation of his right eye to treat an incurable corneal ulcer. The procedure was successful and he's been relaxed, comfortable, recovering beautifully, and will be back to work soon! For now, he’s happily enjoying sunny days, time with his buddies in the field and getting absolutely spoiled. ☀️

While the procedure is complete, he will still have ongoing care. His donation page on Zeffy is still open if you'd like to support him here: https://www.zeffy.com/en-CA/donation-form/therapy-for-a-therapeutic-horse

If Cohen has been a part of your life in any way, we’d love to hear the stories. Let us know in the comments!
