You belong. You can. And don't let anybody tell you otherwise.

Thank you, Dolly. For the music, the kindness, the books, the allyship, and the reminder that you can do whatever you think you can do.

We are beyond proud to celebrate Strides for Equality co-founder Anastasia, recipient of the Dr. Anne Butler History Award from Phoenix Rising Lexington. 💜

The award recognizes individuals whose work researches and promotes the history of African Americans in the equine industry.

Preserving and sharing this history is deeply connected to the work of Strides for Equality, making this recognition especially meaningful.

Congratulations, Anastasia — from the entire Strides for Equality family and every rider whose story you’ve helped tell. 💜

Now Accepting Applications — KDA Fall Festival Leg Up Scholarship 2026 🐎

A new partner. A new arena. The same mission: creating more access, opportunity, and representation in equestrian sport.

Strides for Equality Equestrians is proud to partner with the Kentucky Dressage Association to offer a fully funded entry to the KDA Fall Festival at one of the most iconic equestrian venues in the world.

💜 KDA Fall Festival I & II
📍 Kentucky Horse Park | Lexington, Kentucky
📅 September 12 & 13, 2026
⏰ Applications close Sunday, August 23, 2026

The KDA Fall Festival Leg Up Scholarship recipient will receive a funded entry for two classes of their choice at Fall Festival I or II — a recognized dressage competition at the Kentucky Horse Park dedicated to promoting and strengthening the art and sport of dressage in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

This scholarship is intended to increase BIPOC equestrian and ally visibility and inclusion in Kentucky dressage. Because the sport grows stronger when everyone has a seat — and a saddle.

📌 Open to riders of all ages
📌 Riders must have access to their own horse for entry
📌 Scholarship covers entry fee expenses only — travel is the responsibility of the recipient
📌 Applicants must be willing to share their experience through blogs, social and print media
📌 Applicants must be invested in increasing access to equestrian sports for underrepresented groups

Recipients will be notified no later than Wednesday, August 26 to allow time to plan for the show and travel.

Because talent belongs in the ring.
Opportunity should too.

If you've been waiting for a sign to take the next step in your riding journey... this is it. 💜

Representation looks good on this sport.

So does allyship.
So does making room for the next rider.

Kinda chic, if you ask us.

This year, because of this community, Strides for Equality has been able to...

💜 Award Leg Up Scholarships
💜 Host a SEE Me Camp in Kansas
💜 Host an Ever So Sweet Camp in Virginia
💜 Support riders at the Virginia Commonwealth Games
💜 Welcome incredible riders and families into our community

And we're not done yet.

Every one of those opportunities happened because people chose to support this mission.

Some gave $5.
Some gave $25.
Some gave $150 to help cover a clinic scholarship.
Some gave $500 to send a rider to camp for a day.
Some gave $2,000 to sponsor an entire camp experience.

Here's what I hope you'll remember:
There is no donation that's "too small."

Every dollar helps us create more opportunities, award more scholarships, host more camps, and continue building a sport where every rider has the chance to belong.

If you believe in what we're building, we'd love to have you be part of it.

Every donation matters. Every rider matters. Every story matters. 💜

Be that someone. 🔗 Link in bio.

🔊 Sound on. This is the sound of community. 💜

No voiceover. No music. Just the real, unfiltered sounds of a place where riders belong —

This is what belonging actually sounds like. And every rider deserves to hear it. 🐴
