For more than a decade, the Whitemud Equine Learning Centre
Association (WELCA) has been quietly helping to develop people of
strength and contributors to the Edmonton community. Through our
equine-related activities, we will increase our role in creating a
better quality of life for all Edmontonians.
WELCA provides easy access for anyone wishing to discover
the joys of equine activities, and those who wish to rekindle their
love for horses. Our centrally located services help young urban people
develop self-confidence and self-esteem, and our horses are instrumental
in providing therapeutic services for people living with mental health
issues or diseases such as multiple sclerosis. We provide learning
opportunities for students of all ages, whether it is veterinarian
studies or learning an equine sport. And we help urbanites gain a better
understanding of life on a horse farm, right in the heart of the city.
We make all this possible using our own herd of horses and some which are loaned to us.
WELCA’s learning centre provides programs to
approximately 1,000 visitors each week. Our different horse riding
programs and instructions are available at various levels to the general
public, school groups, and people with disabilities.
Our future plans include the development of a world-class
equine learning centre in which more Edmontonians and people from all
over the world can come to study horses and learn about their special
relationship with people. The new facility will be developed on our
existing site on Fox Drive, and will be integrated into the beautiful
heritage setting of the Keillor Farm. Once completed, our new facility
will allow us to help even more Edmontonians, and allow us to continue
our mission of contributing to a stronger community, locally and
globally.
