Who we are...

Connecting Through Horses is a grassroots non-profit organization working with people and business owners in Manitoba to:

• Promote health and wellness by providing specific services using horses that have been demonstrated to improve physical, mental or spiritual wellness for children, youth, women, indigenous peoples, seniors, at-risk populations, persons with disabilities and mental health disorders, new Canadians, veterans and first-responders, agriculture producers, or those who are financially unable to participate in horse activities
• Advance education and knowledge for equine activities that promote health and wellness by providing educational opportunities, training and conducting research

What we do...

Connecting Through Horses is working towards applying for charity status so that it can accept donations, fundraise and partner with Manitoba businesses and organizations to provide funding, support and education for horse activities that provide health and wellness benefits. 

​Memberships in the organization are available for those interested in supporting the organization and shaping its direction!  See our upcoming dates and events section below for the AGM and fundraising activies.
