Main Stay Farm - Many Hearts, One Farm

The purpose of Many Hearts, One Farm is to educate and inspire our team, clients and the communities that we serve. The Many Hearts, One Farm logo reminds us that no one heart is better or more important than the other because we need each one in order to make different but beautiful colors. Just like every paint color on a palette, everyone who walks through the doors of Main Stay plays an equally important part in our mission.

The 2024 Paralympics

The 2024 Olympics have begun! If you’re even a casual fan, you’re probably aware of that and may have watched some of the Olympic games in Paris. You may also know that there are several Equestrian events including Dressage, Jumping, Eventing, and even Modern Pentathlon. While these events and athletes are certainly worthy of our attention, did you know that the 2024 Paralympics are also being held in Paris?


What are the Paralympics Games?

The Paralympic games usually take place two weeks after the Olympic games and in the same city. The “Para” part of Paralympics comes from the Greek preposition meaning “beside”.

Athletes competing in the Paralympics use adaptive equipment and are just as fierce competitors as the athletes competing in the Olympics. If you’re a fan of Olympic equestrian events, you may want to check out Para Equestrian (para dressage) during the Paralympics!
