Thank to YOU we’re Enhancing Rider Security
Miss Kelly celebrates our nation and the arrival of our NEW Flex-on Safety Stirrups!!
Mane Stream is delighted to announce the resounding success of its "Step Up for Safety" campaign, which has not only met but significantly exceeded its fundraising goal. Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of our community, the campaign raised an incredible $3,500, surpassing its $3,150 target.
The "Step Up for Safety" initiative was launched to address a critical safety update in equestrian standards. Several major organizations, including the USA Pony Club and USEF, have or will soon officially ban Peacock stirrups due to evolving safety concerns. While once a common choice for therapeutic and adaptive riding, these stirrups are now considered outdated and potentially dangerous due to issues like degrading elastic bands and inconsistent release during a fall.
Mane Stream, always prioritizing the safety and well-being of its riders, quickly initiated this campaign to replace our youth Peacock stirrups with safer, approved alternatives, such as the Flex-On Safe-On Stirrups. To ensure the best fit and function for future orders, we strategically purchased an initial set including 6 youth pairs, 5 adult pairs, 1 youth pair with a cage, and 1 adult pair with a cage to evaluate their performance before a larger investment. The community's immediate and enthusiastic response has been truly heartwarming.
"We are absolutely thrilled and deeply grateful for the incredible support shown for our 'Step Up for Safety' campaign," said Jen Dermody, Director of Programs. "Your generosity has allowed us to not only meet our initial goal but exceed it, ensuring we can continue to provide the safest possible environment for all our riders.” You truly helped us REIN in the RISK!

The success of this campaign is a testament to the community's dedication to Mane Stream's mission. We look forward to replacing other vital equipment, specifically cage and "S" bend stirrups, as funds permit. Every donation, regardless of size, makes a tangible difference in enhancing the safety and quality of life for our participants.
