Bear Creek Stables in Los Gatos is undergoing restoration efforts led by the nonprofit Friends of Bear Creek Stables, with a recent contract extension allowing them to care for horses. The board approved a temporary extension to raise $250,000 necessary for a long-term operation contract. Although about $60,000 has been raised, significant fundraising is needed to restart programs for the community, reflecting a shift from uncertainty to determination in the stables’ future. Without proper funding, the stables faced closure due to overwhelming repair needs.
"The fundraising target here is aggressive, and I think it's good to see that because I think if we can do that it will mean that (we're) not just operating on a shoestring."
"The contract was supposed to last from January through June, but was extended to give Friends of Bear Creek Stables more time to raise the $250,000 needed for Midpen to sign a 12-year contract."
