ABOUT US
EmpowerStride is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping women, children, and individuals heal, grow, and rediscover their strength through meaningful, horse-centered experiences.
We provide a safe, supportive environment where participants build confidence, resilience, and emotional awareness through hands-on, ground-based equine-assisted learning. Horses offer honest, calming feedback that helps individuals feel grounded, understood, and empowered.
EmpowerStride also offers workshops and programs for individuals, groups, and teams seeking connection, personal growth, and renewed energy.
Through the powerful partnership between horse and human, EmpowerStride creates life-changing opportunities for healing, hope, and transformation.
Did you know?
A horse's number one concern is to feel safe, which can only come from a connection within a herd.
Horses have an extraordinary ability to connect with people in ways that are honest, immediate, and deeply meaningful. As highly sensitive and social animals, horses respond to what we feel—not what we say. They reflect our emotions and energy, helping us become more aware, present, and grounded.
​
Unlike people, horses do not judge or hold expectations. Their calm, authentic presence creates a safe space where trust can be rebuilt, confidence can grow, and emotional resilience can develop. Through working with horses, participants learn to regulate their emotions, establish healthy boundaries, and rediscover their inner strength.
EmpowerStride follows the curriculum endorsed by Equine Connections – The Academy of Equine Assisted Learning, using objective-driven experiences designed to help individuals reconnect with themselves, build life skills, and move forward with greater confidence, clarity, and well-being.​​​
