Behind every ride is a team.

And that team needs people like you.

Prairie Strides volunteers walk beside riders, lead horses and help children living with disabilities experience the joy and accomplishment of adaptive riding and horse activities.

Our Fall Program starts soon, and our Online Volunteer Orientation is just one week away.

Looking for a meaningful way to give back?

Prairie Strides volunteers help children living with disabilities build confidence, create connections and experience the joy of working with horses. We have a variety of volunteer roles, some require horse experience, while others don’t. Whatever your skills, there’s a place for you, and training is provided for every position.

Earlier this year, two of our amazing volunteers shared their Prairie Strides stories with Aaron Epp of the Winnipeg Free Press. Now that the article is available to everyone, we’re excited to share their journeys and the impact of volunteering on our blog.

July is Disability Pride Month...

At Prairie Strides, we’re privileged to witness the courage, determination, joy, and accomplishments of the children and youth who ride with us. Every lesson reminds us that inclusion creates opportunities for confidence, connection, and growth.

This month, we celebrate our riders, their families, and everyone working toward a more inclusive community.

Happy Disability Pride Month. 💚

Behind every smile at Prairie Strides is a remarkable horse.

Happy national I LOVE HORSES day to the gentle partners who help children with disabilities grow in confidence, strength, and independence.

Today, and every day, we’re grateful for our four-legged heroes. 🐴❤️

What a wonderful evening!

Our annual BBQ brought together riders, volunteers, families, and friends for an evening filled with food, laughter, and community. From games and barn tours to balloon animals and volunteer recognition, it was a celebration of everything that makes Prairie Strides so special.

And yes... Horse P**p Bingo was back! Babe kept everyone in suspense by refusing to cooperate, so our winner was chosen by ticket draw instead. Congratulations to Shaun, winner of $2,200 with ticket #0827.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended, volunteered, donated, and helped make the evening such a success. Your support helps Prairie Strides continue to provide adaptive horse-riding programs for children and youth with disabilities in our community.

We can’t wait to see you again next year!

What happens when someone simply asks, “Can you help?”

For Mel, that one question led to something he never expected.

In our latest Strides Supporter story, Mel shares how one invitation introduced him to Prairie Strides and why he believes sharing your story may be one of the most powerful ways to help a child.

Read Mel’s story www.prairiestrides.com/trotful-tales

If his story inspires you, consider becoming a Strides Supporter with a monthly gift of $10 or more per month - link in bio.

Together, we can continue creating life-changing experiences for children and families through adaptive horse-riding programs.
