Welcome to STRIDE Therapeutic Riding

Horses mirror human emotions, helping riders build self-awareness, calm, and confidence. Caring for a horse fosters teamwork and a strong sense of purpose. Riding engages the whole body, improving strength and stability in an enjoyable way.

At STRIDE, we believe in the life-changing power of the horse–human connection. Our mission is to provide high-quality equine activities that foster confidence, independence, and personal growth in a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment.

MISSION STATEMENT

Our mission is to provide high-quality equine activities to people with disabilities, foster children and at-risk youth. Through inclusive education and meaningful connections with horses, we strive to foster personal growth, build confidence, and strengthen our community.
