SARI Grand Opening Ribbon Cutting Ceremony

SARI opens new facility

About 70 people watched as the Honorable David C. Onley, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, cut the ribbon on SARI’s new stables on Sept. 11.

The $1 million facility includes a new stable, assessment office, staff offices and lounge area for parents to watch their children riding. Because of this facility, more people will have the opportunity to experience the freedom and independence of riding a SARI horse; more children with special needs will grow physically, intellectually and emotionally through their special bond with a SARI horse.

Thanks to the hundreds of generous donors who made this facility – and the dream it represents – possible
