So, the final $20,000 stretch pool funds get divided among teh charities based on the number of donors for each charity. So even if you can give $5, you help raise the number of donors for Centaur Stride that can help us get a bigger c***k of that $20K. Presently we have only 14 donors. One organization has over 150 donors. They are going to get alot of that Stretch pool money. Can you help us get some also? Every lit bit helps (and is doubled), but the number of donors is going to make the biggest impact. There is strength in numbers. That you for making us count in every way.

Why we strive to provide afterschool programs and clubs, is simple. We love giving opportunities to kids to bond with a horse, gain skills, and grow their confidence.

Each donation provides our therapy horses with supplements, feed, and care that they need to do their work here at Centaur Stride.

Our next time big donation match fund is at 7pm! https://www.givebigchq.org/organizations/centaur-stride-inc

Next giving highlighted time is 2pm!

Below we feature part of our barn. While our arena is getting a new cover soon, we are fundraising for barn repair and maintenance needs so we can focus on our programs for the community.

Our barn currently is home to 15 therapy horses with 2 of those being fully retired (meaning they get all the brushing love and no longer carry riders as part of their time at CS)

COMMENTARY: Stress is an unavoidable part of life, but chronic stress can affect both physical and emotional health. Elevated cortisol levels are associated with anxiety, sleep disturbances, and weakened immune function. Finding healthy ways to reduce stress is one of the most important steps toward restoring balance.
