Spring is Here, and ROARR is Growing!
March is a time for renewal, and we are seeing incredible growth at Robinson Outreach at RiverCross Ranch (ROARR). With expanded youth and senior programs, exciting fundraising opportunities, and upcoming events, there is so much to celebrate.
Youth Programs Are In Full Swing !
Our 10 weekly youth sessions are making a significant impact, bringing in up to 120 youth per week for equine-assisted learning. These sessions provide a safe, supportive space where youth build confidence, develop life skills, and experience the healing power of horses.
Seniors Lunches Are Expanding
We are thrilled to announce that our Seniors Lunch program is growing. We currently serve up to 36 seniors per week over two lunches, but soon, we will add a third lunch, increasing our capacity to up to 54 seniors weekly. This expansion means we will be providing over 2,200 meals this year. Thank you to our incredible volunteers and supporters for making this possible.
Introducing the ROARR Monthly Giving Circle – Make a Lasting Impact
ROARR is launching a Monthly Giving Circle, a simple way to consistently impact the lives of youth, seniors, and the horses that support them. Your monthly donation provides stability for our programs and ensures we can continue delivering these vital services year-round.
- $25/month – Helps provide horse care and feed
- $25/month – Sponsors a senior’s meal
- $50/month – Supports youth in their equine-assisted learning session
- $100/month – Helps care for a therapy horse and sponsors youth in a program
Sponsor a ROARR Horse
We are excited to introduce a new opportunity for supporters to sponsor a ROARR therapy horse. Sponsors will receive exclusive updates, photos, and a chance to meet their chosen horse. Your support helps with feeding, care, and medical needs.
$180/month – Supports one horse monthly for all their needs.
Between March 1 and August 31, every donation made through Rogers Birdies for Kids presented by AltaLink will be matched up to 50%—meaning your gift goes even further.
Join the ROARR Monthly Giving Circle today.
New Additions
Boone
Boone is a 22 year old Quarter horse with an impressive resume as a cowhorse. His experience will make him a wonderful addition to ROARR’s youth programs! We thank Cam Clark for his donation of Boone, and choosing us to work with this special horse.
Benny
Benny is a 6 year old Canadian warmblood. While he can no longer be a competitive show jumper, he will enjoy having the important role of an EAL horse at ROARR. We love his curious, friendly demeanour. Thank you Angela Lalonde for lending Benny to us.
