November Newsletter
It’s been a full, lively month at Strides, so here’s everything we’ve been up to!
Show Highlights
We opened the month with the November 2nd IEA show and wrapped things up with another great show on November 22nd and 23rd! Our riders showed up ready, the horses felt good, and the energy was exactly the kind that makes fall shows so fun!
Welcome to Augie
A bright spot this month was welcoming Augie to the barn. He’s settling in fast and already winning a few hearts. Tina Wilson owns Augie, you will see her around the barn having fun with him :)
Strides Legacy Launch
We officially launched Strides Legacy on November 15th and the excitement around it has been amazing.
What does it mean to be a Legacy Rider?
It’s all about growth, connection, and consistency. Riders get 2 lessons each week plus team meetings with horsemanship sessions and challenges, and real leadership moments that build confidence in and out of the saddle.
Applications for the 2026 season are now open!
If your rider has been looking for something deeper, this might be it.
Available Leases
If you’re curious about any of our lease horses, we’re happy to talk through the right fit and possibilities!
Summer Camp 2026
Camp inquiries have already started coming in and yes, we’re offering fewer weeks this year, so planning ahead will matter a bit more!
Summer 2026 dates were released on Black Friday and Registration is now open for the June dates!!!
Registration will open in two batches - the first batch is now open, July registration will open in January!
If you want updates the moment they go live, be sure to join the waitlist on our website!
We’re already looking forward to another summer full of ponies, sunshine, and those classic Strides camp memories.
