The Board welcomes Chamaine Walsh who joins the Board in September 2019.
The Board focused on supporting Urban Stable’s administrative capacity and growth. Time was spent updating financial

Board finished the year with an engaging discussion about the future. We updated our strategic plan and identified the
following key focus areas: Diversification, Growth, Stability, Sustainability and Celebration (our 20-year anniversary is fast
approaching!).

Greetings and Gratitude from Urban Stable As Urban Stable’s eighteenth year wrapped up, it was inspiring to look back at how much we have accomplished. Consistent annual support from Pembina Trails, Seine River and Red River Valley school divisions has allowed us to witness students’ progress, from the first time they pick up a brush, to independently steering their horse around obstacles in front of their teachers and parents, to hearing them tell their stories as alumni ambassadors. We are so proud of every student’s accomplishments and feel so fortunate to be part of their journey.
The program’s success is also due to the hard-work and passion of our Instructors. All passed their Canadian Therapeutic Riding Association (CanTRA) instructor exams with flying colours last September and achieved higher levels of certification. Their knowledge and skills ensure the programs we deliver are of the highest calibre and safety standards and their personalities ensure everyone has fun along the way. Our horse volunteer, Rufus, even got in on the accolades earning Manitoba Horse Council’s Non-Competitive Horse of the Year award. He is a favourite with the students and his carrots and plaque were well-earned.
We now look to the future with much excitement. Throughout the year, discussions led to two new partners coming on board for the fall – St. Amant Centre and Prairie Rose School Division. Thanks to the support of our amazing volunteers, partners, funders, donors, Board and staff we are ready for this growth! With gratitude,
Wendy MacDonald Co-Founder/Executive Director

*The increase in admin costs reflects the multi-year capacity building grant received in November to support the growth in our administrative staff positions. Admin will be higher over the next three years as we build capacity and will reduce as our programs grow as a result.
Approximately 30 volunteers and 3000 hours of volunteer work assisted our programs, board developments, fundraising efforts and administrative tasks throughout the year.

Board of Directors (as of June 2018)Lana Stevenson PresidentMichelle Kowalchuck* Vice PresidentMelissa Klimack Secretary
Karla Petri* TreasurerVal HollowayHeather Clements* A sincere thanks to our board members who have now completed their terms and a warm welcome to our incoming board members (Sept 2018) Kate Simes, Leanne Huska and Dawna Atamanchuk.
Our focus was largely on supporting and carrying out the first year of our three-year plan of capacity building
and growth as we transitioned to increased, year-round staff positions. Our versatile board brings knowledge
and experience in business, accounting, marketing, fundraising, HR, counselling, social work, nursing and equine
backgrounds.
Our mission and values were updated and are now shared on our website and written materials.
In June we received approval of $5,000 worth of coaching and workshop support from Social Enterprise Manitoba.
This will assist us in exploring another annual stream of revenue based on services we could provide to benefit other
youth, adults and corporations/organizations in our communities.

Our Mission Urban Stable empowers youth to engage in their education and community and achieve personal success through hands-on learning
experiences with horses.
Our ValuesLearning • Connection • Inclusion
Integrity • Dedication
Here’s what parents of participants have to say:
“I am proud of her ability to actually
control such a beautiful animal and as a result teach her that nothing
is too big to handle.”
“He is learning to be more assertive and
confident with his life in general because of his work with his
horse.”
“I am proud of his patience he shows
working with his horse Lucy and how quiet and
relaxed he was. The program far exceeded any expectations. This has been a wonderful experience for my son.”
“I think it is a wonderful program
that I wish more children could
experience.”
