Stride and Strength Mission: Achieving goals one hoof beat at a time through our horse empowered healing program Hello central Texas!

I'm Caitlin Klaerner, owner of Stride & Strength Therapeutic Horseback Riding. I am a PATH (Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship) certified therapeutic riding instructor with twenty one years of horse experience, three years of experience in equine assisted therapy, and four years of experience as a registered nurse. Stride & Strength is an equine assisted therapy program geared to

wards creating accessible horseback riding lessons for those with mental and physical disabilities. Such conditions include but are not limited to traumatic brain injuries, Parkinson's Disease, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, Autism, ADHD, PTSD and anxiety. We strive to improve life skills and independence to every one of our riders.

A wonderful reminder!

This sweet client brought along her favorite book this week and we wanted to be sure to share it with everyone! From Head to Toe is a fun story about different animals moving their bodies in different ways. As we read, we walked on our horse and moved our bodies any way that the book described. It was such a fun idea for stretching and really encouraged this rider to sit tall and look ahead!

Horses can provide us with the stability, strength, and confidence that our bodies sometimes struggle with on the ground. What an amazing gift of independence they give us!

Tandem rides!
Tandem rides are when an instructor rides simultaneously with the rider in order to provide upper body (head, neck, and trunk) support if needed. This type of session also allows for further passive range of motion stretches and control in the event of spasticity. These rides are always packed with fun, as you can clearly see!
