COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS

Welcoming opportunities to visit the farm, learn and connect

We believe a barn should be more than a place for horses—it should be a place where neighbors feel welcome, connected, and at home.

Our community programs invite people of all ages and backgrounds to slow down, explore, create, and spend time in the company of horses safely. Whether you're sharing a story with your child, enjoying coffee with neighbors, or making art at the barn, there's no experience or expertise required—just come as you are.

We’re creating a stable where there’s room to be curious, get a little messy, meet new people, and discover something unexpected. There’s a place for you here.

YOU BELONG HERE

Horses & Coffee

Come-as-you-are sessions for military spouses to build community connection, in an environment that invites reflection and stress regulation in the presence of horses.

Through storytelling, sensory stations, and quiet time near the ponies, children and caregivers connect and explore language and imagination in a calm barn setting.

An exploration of different media - such as photography, painting, and drawing - in the peaceful setting of the barn. Visit the registration page for more information. 

Access &
Program Support

Community programs are made possible through grants, underwriting, and community sponsorship. We actively pursue funding to sustain equine-facilitated programs and to reduce financial barriers for participants.

Through foundation grants, partnerships, & sponsorships, we work to ensure community programs remain accessible, sustainable, and responsive to community needs.

 

Organizations interested in sponsoring, underwriting, or partnering to expand community opportunities at Stable Strides are invited to connect with us.
