The provincial government is investing in a horse therapy program in Pelham.
The Ontario Trillium Foundation is investing $112,000 into the program at BNR Stables on Balfour Street, which helps youth with their mental health and self-confidence through horse riding. Horse Sense for Kids partners with organizations including Pathstone Mental Health, Family and Children’s Services Niagara and the District School Board of Niagara.
The money will be used to buy a therapy horse and cover costs for staff for the next two years. Over the last forty years, the Ontario Trillium Foundation has invested more than $2.6 billion through over 28,000 grants to build healthy and vibrant communities.
