The North Fraser Therapeutic Riding Association will be moving into a barn on the historic Hampton property, thanks to the new owners who also own Honeybee Centre in Surrey. The association provides equine therapy programs for individuals with diverse abilities, helping them improve physical, mental, emotional, and social challenges through horseback riding.
The new location on the Hampton property offers 53 acres of land, providing ample space for the riding association to build a beautiful facility. The move comes after the association’s previous 17-acre property was sold, prompting a search for a new permanent home. The new owners of the Hampton property, the Gluck family, were eager to support the association’s mission and provide a lasting home for their programs.
The association has secured a long-term lease on the property, with plans to collaborate with the Gluck family to design a new riding ring and barn with stalls. A fundraiser is currently underway to build an arena and paddocks at the new location, with a goal of $150,000. The move to the Hampton property represents a significant opportunity for the association to expand their programming and continue providing vital services for years to come.
