Marka Dethier, the owner of Overly Stables, is a retired US air force veteran and lifelong equestrian enthusiast. The stable’s mission is to provide an exceptional environment in which horses and humans can unite. While there is a steady demand for services like boarding and horseback riding camps, Overly Stables furthers their community involvement by offering additional no-cost programs to area children who may otherwise not be able to afford them.
Overly Stables used a $60,000 loan from SCCLF to construct a covered arena at their facility. To many, this arena may simply be a structure providing shelter from the elements. But to SCCLF, it is a way for a woman- and veteran-owned and operated community business to increase their operating capacity while also increasing their service to others.
