Forward Stride enhances quality of life through equine-assisted services.

With our incredible herd of horses, Forward Stride helps individuals of all ages and abilities learn, grow, and heal.

Our inclusive and accessible programs work together to provide exceptional care, therapy, and support to all participants, human and equine.

Everyone has challenges in life. We encourage each person to face them head on with the support of our herd and fellow humans. Along the way, emotional, cognitive, and physical milestones are reached and lifelong friendships are forged.

Make A Difference Today

Thanks to our generous donors, most of our clients do not pay the full cost of their programs. We currently serve over 200 clients every week—but there’s potential to do even more. Your support allows us to dream bigger and provide life-changing experiences to even more members in our local community.

Explore Our Programs

From psychotherapy and physical therapy to leadership and vaulting, our programs are designed to empower individuals of all abilities. Explore how the healing power of horses can create lasting confidence, skills, and joy for participants.

Meet Our Herd

Our horses are the heart of Forward Stride. Each herd member has a unique story and plays a vital role in our inclusive programming. Get to know these amazing animals and learn how they make a difference in the lives of so many.

My hope is that everyone who is interested would have the opportunity to access the gifts of Forward Stride.  Through the presence of horses, Forward Stride serves the community in such a unique way, and in so doing, offers hope, healing, fun, friendship and renewed life, purpose, and growth for many individuals. 

In our world today, we need health, wellness, and connectedness.  Forward Stride offers all of these things to the people they serve.
