Greetings & Gratitude from Urban Stable Each year over the past seventeen years I have witnessed incredible individual growth and success within participating students. These young people continue to inspire me to never give up on Urban Stable’s journey to sustainability.

Each student’s bravery is remarkable as they allow themselves to be vulnerable and open to the lifelong skills and connections they develop so naturally, directly and immediately while they work with their horses.

Equally remarkable are all the people whose combined efforts and passion have provided close to 600 youth with the opportunity to participate in our unique and impactful programs. The staff and board (past and present) could not do what we do without our amazing volunteers, partners, funders, general supporters and donors.

This past year, I was both shocked and humbled to be selected as one of the 2017 Our Manitoba Heroes after staff secretly nominated me. The experience included a video opportunity to showcase the work and impact of Urban Stable, a flag ceremony with the Mayor, and a very special gala event. In the end, it was with great pride that I

accepted this amazing honour on behalf of each and every person that has been a part of this incredible journey.

With gratitude,

Wendy MacDonald Co-Founder/Executive Director

Student FeedbackTop three statements for how students feel:

86% I feel confident about riding. 76% I enjoy trying hard. 72% I am more comfortable

with myself.

What students learned about themselves:

“That I can try my best and have a great

relationship.”“I am a good

learner.”“I am not always comfortable being

the leader.”

“I can overcome obstacles if I try

hard.”“I have the

power in me.”

My horse taught me:

“To have trust in him.” “That anyone can be a leader.”

“To be a good leader and to never give up.”

“That I can do almost anything.”

Outcomes for 2017-18Many thanks to our school and community partners, granting partners, fundraising supporters, private donors and volunteers for all we’ve accomplished together this past year!

Program Facility/Office • Our program home base at Camp Assiniboia is a great fit with a herd and facility that continues to provide the stability needed to support our plans for growth. • A successful trial period in the spring led to the lease of our new office space (308-421 Mulvey Ave E, Winnipeg), which also supports our plans for growth and long-term sustainability. In June we received a $5,000 grant from Assiniboine Credit Union to assist with the office setup and computer upgrades.

Grants • A multi-year capacity building grant (first of its kind) was granted by The Winnipeg Foundation supporting growth in executive director and program director positions. • Grants from Graham C. Lount Family Foundation (7th year), the Anonymous Fund at The Winnipeg Foundation and Manitoba Community Services Council assisted greatly in fulfilling program and administration targets.• Westwood Collegiate Youth in Philanthropy visited Urban Stable in March and awarded us with funds that were used towards program equipment.

Fundraising• Many thanks to all who have been a part of our fundraising events and activities that raised over $8,000:

- Annual Bud ‘n Spud event - New Paint Party events (provided in-kind by our very own Hayley Edwards) - Sales of used tack and Urban Stable wear

62 Urban Stable youth, volunteers and families had the privilege of experiencing the Cavalia show in June. Thanks Cavalia, for this amazing gift!

Marketing Communications • Our website and e-newsletter both continue to increase awareness and donations. Annual online campaigns (December/June) assisted greatly in almost doubling the donations received last year with thanks to all our new and repeat donors!• A social media plan, starting with Facebook, is emerging with more to come as we build our human resources to manage more. • A Corporate Sponsorship Package was developed to help establish new corporate partnerships to assist with our growth and sustainability. Contact us to learn more. • Alumni were spectacular in assisting with presentations made to school division board of trustees and community supporters/funders.

Experiential Learning Programs • Our small Summer Program took a hiatus as we settled into our new home providing horse activities to Camp Assiniboia campers. This new partnership provided many benefits to the campers (and horses, too) while benefiting Urban Stable with volunteer opportunities for Alumni students and support to create year-round staff positions.• 39 students (20 schools/three school divisions) attended our School Program developing friendships, teamwork and leadership skills weekly in the fall and spring sessions. • Our small but impactful Alumni and Leaders in Training Programs set the stage for growth from one group of three to two groups of eight in the 2018-2019 year. • Plans over the next three years include a new summer programming opportunity for community partners serving up to 50 underserved youth, growing the School Program to 64 and the Alumni Program to 16.• In partnership with Red River College and the Child & Youth Care Worker Certificate program, we were thrilled to host our first practicum student in the spring.

*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.

control such a beautiful animal and as a result teach her that nothing

is too big to handle.”

confident with his life in general because of his work with his

horse.”

working with his horse Lucy and how quiet and
