Nestled in the heart of nature, our unique equine-assisted therapy center is a sanctuary for those seeking to transform their struggles with anxiety and depression into a state of peace and empowerment.

A Unique Approach to Healing

At Strides to Solutions, we believe in the profound impact of connecting with nature and animals for emotional and psychological healing. Our equine therapy is not just about riding horses; it's an immersive experience where the bond between human and horse becomes a powerful tool for transformation. The horses, with their intuitive and gentle nature, provide a mirror to your emotions, helping you understand and process your feelings in a nurturing environment.
