Strides Riding Academy

"Strides Riding Academy is a gem! As a first-time rider I was a little nervous to get started but the staff at Strides is amazing - from the riding instructors who are incredibly knowledgeable to the administrative staff who run the stables. This is a place that cares deeply about their programs and their students. And you will learn a lot! Safety and good horsemanship are prioritized so be prepared to listen, watch, and learn and you will be very pleased with your experience and results."

"Strides Riding Academy is excellent in every way, for any rider. I have been a rider at Strides for over 10 years. I began wanting to just learn the fundamentals of grooming a horse, into wanting to learn how to ride a horse without being full of fear. Maggie Clancy and her staff did exactly that! As a late bloomer beginner in horse riding at the age of 68, I have come to feel confident, in charge and even competitive in my riding, now at the age of 80!!! . My horse riding with Maggie has improved my posture as well as my confidence level, which has carried over to my entire life style-. One is never too old to ride, to learn, to feel the excitement of fulfilling a wish made as a child---Strides Riding Academy can take you there!! I know. I am living it! Maggie Clancy is an excellent instructor--she provides the confidence building skills, along with skills needed to be one with your horse. Safety is number one with Maggie and she just has the insight to know how far to take the rider in one's lesson. Thank you, Maggie. You have made a huge difference in my life. Dixie James----I'd follow you anywhere!"

"Maggie (the owner) and her staff are providing a wonderful, safe professional environment for our 7 - year old daughter to learn how to ride as well as gain horsemanship skills. They have a structured, disciplined approach while at the same time creating a fun and loving environment. They are instilling in our daughter a love for riding and horses that she can take with her for a lifetime. I strongly recommend Strides!"

"My daughter, wife and myself all love riding with Strides. It feels like a little serene getaway each time we go to the ranch for lessons with all of the wildlife and the pond. Love that it’s woman-owned and folks of all ages are encouraged and welcome to be part of this riding community!"

"I started my horse riding journey about six months ago with no experience. Through the capable hands of the trainers at Strides Riding Academy, I can now say that I ride well! They've taught me absolutely everything there is to know about how to ride properly, tack, and caring for a horse. My lessons are absolutely the highlight of my week! It's a little slice of heaven with all those beautiful horses, stalls, and pastures. I could not be happier and am so thrilled to have found them."
