Strides Riding Academy offers lessons 7 days a week, training for young horses through competitive show mounts, boarding, high school and middle school IEA teams, show prep and coaching. We also have extensive programs for younger beginner riders that include summer camps, Sunday horse clubs, introductory pony lessons and a large group of lesson horses and ponies to start riding on. 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.

If there’s one thing better than a day at the barn, it’s ending the day like this. The pond, the horses, and that perfect sunset—makes all the hard work worth it.

If you could end every day like this, would you rather sit by the pond and soak it all in or take a quiet sunset ride?

A big thank you to one of our barn friends for capturing this stunning moment!

When nature decides to show off, it does it right over the barn—just look at this perfect rainbow arching over Strides! Maybe it’s a sign of an extra lucky ride ahead.

There’s something about a rainbow that instantly lifts the mood—just like a great ride or time spent with our horses. Have you ever seen a rainbow while at the barn? Drop a 🌈 in the comments if you have!
