Stichting SharonStables is a non-profit foundation based in Aalsmeer, near the Amsterdam Forest, that is recognised as a Sociaal Belang Behartigende Instelling (SBBI) with a social, non-commercial purpose. It helps talented riders who lack their own horse or pony to progress in equestrian sport, providing them with a place on the foundation's sport horses and ponies in dressage, show jumping and eventing. Horses are kept in group paddocks with at least 12 hours of outdoor time daily and are also used for recreational rides. The foundation also supports the wellbeing of people with psychological difficulties through coaching, recreation and day activities with horses, and offers training and internships in horse care and equestrian sport as a recognised training company. Its aim includes strengthening social cohesion by bringing people from different social classes together. The foundation is run by volunteers, funded by donations and horse adoptions, and welcomes sponsors and corporate partners. Its activities are centred on the Netherlands.
