Centaur Stride, founded in 1990, is a therapeutic riding center that uses horses to provide physical, neurological, and emotional benefits, especially for children with disabilities such as cerebral palsy. The center emphasizes the unique movement of horses to stimulate development and improve quality of life, while also recognizing the profound psycho-social benefits of horse interaction. Horses are viewed not just as tools but as co-therapists and guides, fostering growth, trust, and connection in a nurturing environment.

Over time, Centaur Stride expanded its mission beyond physical rehabilitation to include therapeutic and enrichment programs for individuals of all abilities, integrating nature-based sessions and groundwork alongside mounted lessons. The center focuses on inclusion and individualized care, with trained therapists and instructors working together to maximize benefits. Despite some initial misunderstandings about its name, Centaur Stride remains committed to its vision of harnessing the intuitive power of horses to nurture both body and mind.
