The bonding between horse and rider and the relationships with instructors and volunteers has now been proven to be beneficial to many with a variety of challenges. For the physically handicapped rider, horseback riding gently and rhythmically moves horses' bodies, naturally mimicking human gait. Together we can Empower, Enrich & Inspire people of all ages with physical, mental or emotional challenges.

Our Team
Report
I have been blessed to live my lifelong dream of working with horses for over 55 years. At the age of 16, I opened my 1st boarding & training stable in New York. I started showing horses at the age of 9 and was very active in 4-H. I showed Western, Hunters and Open Jumpers in my teens. I started training and showing Morgan horses in 1965.
Our Horses
Report
Meet our amazing Stirrups 'n Strides herd! Many of them come to us from a previous "profession". Here, they have a new opportunity to make a difference in the lives of those who come here for therapeutic riding, equine therapy and equine assisted learning. Each has their own special "magic" to share.
