The Eau Claire County Humane Association was organized in 1962 in response to a growing need to care for unwanted and abandoned animals. It was incorporated in 1968 and a board of directors was established. Our mission is: to prevent cruelty to animals; to provide shelter and compassionate care for abused, neglected, lost, and unwanted animals; to adopt animals into loving, responsible homes; to educate the community about the importance of spay/neutering to control pet overpopulation; to educate the community about the humane treatment of animals and responsible pet ownership; and to enforce animal protection laws.
NFTRA has been operating in Maple Ridge since the late 70's. We offer 3 ten to twelve week riding sessions per year to disabled adults and children. We have between 80-90 riders in our program each week. Our program relies on the assistance of over 80 volunteers per week. We currently have 5 riding instructors and 8 equine therapists (Horses). Almost all our funding is through the generosity of groups and individuals who sponsor our horses and donate to our program generally.
SAGA is a volunteer run, non-profit organization that was founded in the summer of 2003 by a group of people that had fallen in love with these majestic animals and saw the demand for such an organization here in Alberta. Not only does SAGA promote the adoption of retired racing greyhounds to loving homes, our mandate also includes providing information about greyhounds to the public. These dogs are not what most people would expect, which is why we encourage everyone to come experience them at one of our Meet and Greet events. SAGA is committed to looking out for the welfare of retired racing greyhounds, educating people about ex-racing greyhounds, their qualities as pets, and their care.
The emphasis of the program is on development of independence, physical well-being, ability, confidence and riding techniques. Riders will be able to enjoy trail rides that take them through the forest and up and down small hills, over grass, gravel, concrete, sand, mud and water. They may ride on a warm sunny day, get caught in a short rain, or be out on a breezy day. All of these sensations add to the overall experience of connecting with nature. All riders could experience emotional benefits via a sense of achievement and the ability to take risks. Riding provides persons with disabilities a sense of normalcy, as this is an activity which most any person can take part in. Riding can be highly motivating for some individuals and great for increasing self-confidence. It is a fun and enjoyable way to have “therapy” in a non-therapeutic setting. The horses are the therapy equipment and their movement affects each rider in a positive, non-clinical manner.
