History

Established in 2008.

The mission at Strides Riding Academy is to teach beginner through advanced riders how to be confident, caring and committed horse people with a curriculum that educates both inside and outside of the arena. Using a structure that promotes a positive attitude about setting goals, understanding unique learning styles, and overcoming challenges, we develop riders who take the ups and downs of life and riding in stride.

STRIDES is the collaboration of two devoted riding instructors who believe that within each individual resides the potential to be a great equestrian. Our combined 20 years of teaching experience has taught us that, like every horse, each rider has their own unique way of learning. With emphasis on safety and strong foundations, we seek to draw out the best in all of our students. Visit our website for more information www​.stridesridin​ga​cad​emy​.com
