Welcome to STRIDE online!

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 celebrating our tenth anniversary this year, and we invite you to participate in our 2005 Summer program!

You can join the fun and help create magic in a number of different ways. Keeping horses in Alaska, though absolutely worth the effort, is an extraordinarily expensive venture. So the income STRIDE receives from program fees must be augmented with cash donations in order to keep this program going and growing. If you want to make a secure online contribution to STRIDE using your credit card, click on the Donate Now Through Network for Good icon on any page. Or, if you prefer to send us a check, please print and complete our Donor Information Form and mail your contribution.

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.

We also depend on donated equipment, supplies, and pro-bono services. Please review our wish list to learn of other ways you can help make our dream of creating a year round therapeutic riding center a reality!
