Cameron & Dixie
LifeStriders has made such a positive impact on Cameron's life. He has been riding for almost 3 years now and he still loves every moment of it. He has improved so much physically, mentally and even vocally. We are so grateful for all of the hard work the therapists have done with him, and for the horses that make it all possible. This organization changes lives and helps so many people with disabilities reach their full potential, and we are so very proud to be a part of it.

Megan & Stormy
Since 2008 Megan was blessed to be at LifeStriders. Megan was born in 1994 with a global development delay of unknown origin. LifeStriders created a fluid, individualized treatment plan to address her challenges. Through the incredible work of professional therapists, horse specialists, dedicated volunteers and amazing horses Megan has flourished. Rain or shine, Saturday mornings mean a 30-minute drive to a world of acceptance, encouragement, support, learning, compassion, friends and JOY. Lessons incorporate strategic games, tasks and rider positions that have facilitated Megan to improve her posture, core strength, balance and stability, communication, social skills, hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills and color recognition. LifeStriders is a gift to our family, and we are so grateful.

Nancy & Gunner
Hi, my name is Nancy Ellis. The LifeStriders team - staff, volunteers, and horses - have provided extraordinary care and support during two of the most challenging times in my life. Several years ago, I was drawn to LifeStriders after suffering a major stroke that, thanks to an experimental procedure, left me with only minor physical and cognitive difficulties, but enough to cause me to give up my job, and many activities I enjoyed. I joined the therapy riding class and was able to improve balance, coordination, and core strength, while the LS team provided the confidence building that I needed. I soon joined the volunteer team and in the following years witnessed amazing progress in many therapy recipients.
Recently, I was again struck with a major medical challenge: breast cancer. Again I faced both physical and emotional hurdles. The unwavering support and empathy of the staff, and volunteers, and the feeling of peace that the LifeStriders horses impart, helped me to overcome my fears and regain a sense of well-being. LifeStriders became and continues to be, my ‘happy place’, and continues to provide, the support, encouragement I need to continue my healing process. To anyone seeking comprehensive and compassionate therapy, I wholeheartedly recommend LifeStriders for their dedication to clients and commitment to excellence. They were there for me when I needed them most, and I know they will be there for others as well.

Zoey & Slick
LifeStriders truly is my "Happy Place"! I get so excited knowing I'm coming for another session with my buddy Slick. My main goal is to work on physical therapy but I get so much more than that from my time here. I'm improving my communication when I give Slick commands, I work on my focus and attention by doing tasks while horseback, and I get to show my love for animals! I'm learning to conquer my fears, take on challenges, reach for the stars, and be proud of the "Life Strides" I've made! So please support LifeStriders and me by donating to Derby Days!
