Stirrups 'n Strides Therapeutic Riding Center

***What makes therapeutic riding* so *special?***

The bonding between horse and rider and the relationships with instructors and volunteers has been known to help, even “proven to improve” self esteem, self confidence and social interaction. For the physically handicapped rider, horseback riding gently and rhythmically moves horses’ bodies, naturally mimicking human gait. Studies have shown that therapeutic riding provides the following benefits:

• Psychological bonding
• Lifting of the spirit and lots of fun!
• Increased attention span
• Improve balance, posture and flexibility

See how therapeutic riding made a difference for Kathy Gray — and is helping others.

“Someone that’s scared… I tell them, if I can do it you can do it.”

Together we can Empower, Enrich & Inspire people of all ages with physical, mental or emotional challenges.

Our therapy horses are the heart of the success of therapeutic riding. We’re looking for sponsors to help with care for these wonderful horses. Won’t you be a sponsor? See how you can help: Sponsor A Horse
