About The Herd
As people, we all have our stories. We all possess different backgrounds, experiences, and burdens. The same is true of horses. The horses at Stride Ahead come from many different walks of life. They possess different personalities, strengths, and affinities. The one thing they all have in common is that they are here to help you move forward. Our horses are chosen for their calm temperaments, and trained to assist on your road to recovery.
