Donate
Changing Strides was founded as a 501 (c)3 non-profit organization to provide a riding program for at-risk youth and to provide equine psychotherapy services to veterans, survivors of domestic abuse, and people with substance abuse issues. This past year has been difficult due to the Covid-19 pandemic, so we were forced to scale back our plans for our program and our fundraising. Restrictions on our lesson and therapy programs have now eased, and we are beginning to resume our programs, with safety precautions in place.
We need your help to provide funding to cover the cost of the horses, assistant trainers and therapists for the program, so that we can expand our ability to provide services to children and adults in need. Our Tax ID is 83-1182078.

For as little as $75 per month you can sponsor a client to receive one monthly lesson or for $300 a month one weekly lesson.
Camps
For a one-time donation of $250 you can sponsor one of our clients to participate in one of our weekend camps.
We recently had a dozen children attend one of our camps. The smiles on their faces made each day so rewarding as the children learned basic horsemanship skills and experienced the joy of riding a horse. We heard some of the children say it was their best day ever. Providing our clients with the opportunity to experience the joy of horses and build confidence, resiliency, respect, awareness, communication, and other skills is indeed rewarding. We want to continue these camps and expand both our riding and therapy programs.
Clinics
For a one-time donation of $100 you can sponsor one of our clients to participate in one of our clinics. Our clinics are designed to provide equine psychotherapy services to our clients by a certified equine therapist. These clinics are hosted in individual and group sessions based on need.
