Steady Strides Riding Center is an inclusive riding program that offers both adaptive and traditional lessons in a setting designed to make horses and riding more accessible. The center focuses on ensuring that riders with disabilities can participate in equine activities through individualized instruction, adapted equipment, and volunteer support.
Its adaptive lessons serve students with emotional, behavioral, cognitive, or physical disabilities and can include mounted or unmounted activities. Lessons are tailored to each rider’s needs, and the program also provides financial assistance to improve access for families.
Steady Strides was co-founded in 2018 and is led by instructors with PATH Intl. certification and therapeutic riding experience. The center operates in Tucson on East Old Vail Road and also offers boarding, horse rescue, and traditional riding lessons as part of its broader equestrian program.
