Spirit Strides offers developmental support to physically and mentally challenged people using an equine-assisted approach to recreational and physical therapy. This non-traditional therapeutic practice empowers clients to enhance their sensory-motor abilities, cognitive and communication skills, their behavioral and emotional health, and social and leisure skills through professionally guided horsemanship experiences. 

We provide comprehensive, high quality riding programs to help each rider realize their own potential. Our program reflects upon Jefferson County as a progressive community for equine-assisted therapy and its positive outcomes. Riders with physical disabilities find that their time on the horse provides a calming effect even after the lesson is over. We hope to provide riders normalcy and a sense of independence which may be difficult for them to achieve elsewhere.

For those who need help with balance and muscle control, therapeutic riding is particularly beneficial to children and adults with autism, spina bifida, or other physical disabilities. Those with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) who have trouble focusing or those who have suffered emotional trauma will benefit from therapeutic riding or equine-assisted activities such as focused concentration games, horse care and horse/rider bonding activities. Each rider receives intensive and individual instruction from a therapeutic team which includes a certified therapeutic riding instructor and two or more volunteers.
