Sometimes the most important lessons in life are learned without words.
As the Founder and Executive Director of Strides to Success, I’m honored that our organization is partnering with Horses for Mental Health in this campaign. For years, Strides to Success has worked not only to serve individuals and families through equine-assisted services, but also to help strengthen the field itself through contributions to research, policy, curriculum development, and professional standards.
Strides to Success was the first center in the United States to be accredited as a mental health organization within the PATH Intl. Premier Accredited Center model. That milestone reflects our commitment to doing this work with integrity, credibility, and purpose.
This partnership matters deeply to me because it supports not only the work we do at Strides to Success, but also the continued growth, recognition, and advancement of equine-assisted mental health services across the country.
Donate today to help more individuals and families access these life-changing experiences. Horses have a remarkable way of teaching the life skills that matter most: confidence, trust, communication, emotional regulation, resilience, and the ability to respond to challenges in healthier ways. These are not simply lessons in the arena; they are lessons that carry into homes, schools, relationships, and daily life. Your support helps make these experiences possible for the people who need them most.
Together, we can continue moving this work forward and help more people experience the lasting impact horses can have.
