Horse Cents for Kids is a non-profit charitable organization in Niagara. We are excited to offer opportunities for at-risk children in our community to experience all the incredible benefits of interacting with horses and farm life! Thanks to people like you, we are able to provide opportunities for children to participate in an After School program, a Summer Farm Experience Program and Hippotherapy (the use of horseback riding in speech therapy)!
Horses are extremely effective teachers; they can teach anyone no matter what their age, background, culture, abilities or limitations. Horses teach us effective communication, problem-solving skills, healthy boundaries, leadership, trust, empathy, compromise and responsibility, while providing an environment that lowers stress and improves emotional health and well-being. Horse Cents for Kids believes every child, regardless of circumstances should have access to horses and the therapeutic and life enhancing attributes they have to offer.
Horse Cents for Kids has partnered with the District School Board of Niagara and Big Brothers Big Sisters of south Niagara to offer a Farm Experience Program this summer. Our goal is to provide 225 children living in poverty an opportunity to learn about, interact, connect and experience horses and other farm animals. A day at the farm can be a powerful time for children to continue to draw from long after the day is gone. The connection with animals is personal and effective in nature, influencing both feelings and emotions as well as enhancing knowledge and skills. It can give hope to those in challenging life situations, empowering children in other areas of their lives.
Horse Cents for Kids is also launching of a pilot after-school program for at-risk youth this spring. While participating in the after-school program, children will be offered the opportunity to participate in a research study being conducted in collaboration with Brock University. The study aims to evaluate the benefits of animal-assisted equine activities for helping youth deal with physical and mental health challenges. Many of those in the horse industry have seen or felt these benefits. This significant and leading edge study will be the first to quantify and qualify what many horse enthusiasts have experienced.
Horse Cents for Kids can only offer these crucial programs with support from the community. We would like to ask you to consider supporting us this year. There are a variety of advertising and sponsorship opportunities available. We depend on the generosity of businesses and individuals to sponsor, donate or help fundraise to allow us to provide these programs. Contact us if you would like more information.
