After the first series of the season came to a close, a total of three grants of $500 each were awarded to the following centres:

1. TEAD (The Equestrian Association for the Disabled), Mount Hope, ON
2. Mission Therapeutic Riding, Mission, BC
3. Ambleside Farm, Victoria, BC

Some examples of how the grants will help therapeutic riding centres introduce riders to Para-equestrian sport include: support for visually and hearing-impaired riders, funding for a fun school show, subsidies for riders to participate in competition, and a new computer to assist with the Video Competition submission process.

The deadline to submit an application for the second series is July 15, 2013. Centres interested in applying may do so by visiting the Para-Equestrian website at www.equinecanada.ca/para-equestrian.
