• An educational outing
• A therapeutic or sensory-rich experience
• A memorable connection with horses

—we’ve got you covered (and warm 😉).

We are deeply grateful to the Joe & Hazel Lacey Memorial Fund held at the WindsorEssex Community Foundation for their generous sponsorship of our therapy horse Maggie, given in loving memory of Jerry Wismer.

This meaningful gift supports more than Maggie’s care; it helps children, youth, and adults with diverse needs experience the physical, emotional, and social benefits of equine-assisted therapy. Because of this support, our horses continue to offer comfort, confidence, and connection to those who rely on our programs.

Honouring the memory of Jerry Wismer, alongside the lasting legacy of Joe and Hazel Lacey, makes this sponsorship especially meaningful. Their remembrance will live on through every ride, every smile, and every milestone achieved with Maggie by our side.

Thank you for your kindness and for being such an important part of the WETRA community 💙

There's nothing like a fresh blanket of snow to bring out their playful side. 🤍

Hopping on over to say hello! 👋

My name is Benny. Kind of like bunny but with an e. I heard that Wetra was in need of a friend that is all ears and that some bunny is me! 🐰 I can’t wait to meet you all as I join the team of therapeutic small animals. ❤
