I've had the privilege of being a part of Centaur Stride for 17 years now! I have been greatly blessed by personal involvement in such a fantastic organization. Centaur Stride impacts lives...for the better. From the rider who requires full assistance to the independent rider working on more advanced skills, the smiles are contagious. The physical benefits are obvious, but the lessons reach so much deeper, developing confidence in an encouraging atmosphere. And the benefits are not just to the riders; parents, volunteers, and staff also are supported and encouraged. It is truly a team effort with a rippling effect! One of the equine members is Gypsie, 29 year old Morgan mare. She has been with us for 15 years and is ready for retirement now. Our therapy horses deserve the best in their retirement years. If we can’t find them the perfect retirement home, then they stay with us. We have to fundraise to keep programs going and have to also fundraise to care for our retirement horses. They still love to interact with everyone, even when they can no longer be ridden. Healing with horses happens even at the ground level and no matter what the age of the horse. They keep on giving unconditionally! Please help us as we continue to seek to enrich the lives of others. Jean, Centaur Stride Barn Manager
