Supporting deserving individuals is at the heart of who we are.
As seen in Alberta Bits Magazine.
In 2021, Westhills own Dr. Sarah Malenchak was nominated for the Women of Influence award through the Greater Parkland Regional Chamber. The campaign encourages individual growth, creativity and leadership among diverse groups of women. This nomination inspired Westhills EVS to explore how we could give back to the community that has backed Dr. Sarah in growing her business for so long, through the support of deserving equestrian athletes throughout Alberta. Despite the diversity that exists throughout equine sport, from pleasure riders to international competitors of varying disciplines, the staple that unites us all is undeniable passion for the horse. We strongly believe that quality horsemanship through positive influences in the equine community is key to uniting all equestrian athletes in respect to every level of the sport. We developed the Influential Equine Athlete Program to encourage and support actions of kindness, hard work, passion and dedication towards equestrian sport and recreation. Our credence in this program derives from the fact that the qualities that often deem someone a great horseman/woman, can also represent them as a great member of the community.
After a succesful program launch in 2021 followed by a busy 2022 in which we were able to support 8 different individuals throughout the community over the course of the year, we are continuing applications/nominations for our Influential Equine Athlete Program in 2023. To continue to expand the program even more, we have partnered with a few local businesses’ to ensure our athletes are using gear that promotes people within the community even further. Thank you to the generous partners of this years program:
