STRIDE is a nonprofit corporation with IRS 501(c)(3) status dedicated to helping children and adults with special needs discover new abilities and achieve new heights through therapeutic, educational and recreational activities involving horses. We are starting our 17th year at our new home STRIDE on the Ridge, check out pictures from our 2011 program (view pictures) and we invite you to participate in our 2012 season!

You can join the fun and help create magic in a number of different ways. STRIDE is continually in search of enthusiastic volunteers. We need help with everything from cleaning tack to planning major fundraising events. Experience with horses is helpful, but definitely not necessary, so please don’t be shy about getting involved! See our volunteer page for current opportunities that might interest you.
Don’t have time to volunteer, but still want to help? How about sponsoring a rider or a horse? The very nature of our program, results in high overhead costs. Keeping horses in Alaska, though absolutely worth the effort is an extraordinarily expensive venture. In order to keep this program going and growing, the income STRIDE receives from program fees must be augmented with donations of both funds and pro-bono services.
Please browse our web site to learn more about the benefits our therapeutic riding program brings to the local community, and then review our wish list to find out how you can help make our dream of creating a year round therapeutic riding center a reality!
