The Great Strides Therapeutic Riding Program is very dear to the Walking Horse Trainers’ Auxiliary. The auxiliary donates their time and money to Great Strides. It is a successful program that has been in operation since 1994. Disabled riders build strength from the horses muscle movement, and the relationship they have with their horses open up opportunities for communication and socialization. The program is active each year from April through October. Riding sessions are held each Monday and Tuesday at 5:00 and 6:00. If you are interested in making a donation or volunteering time in 2018, contact them at Great Strides, P.O. Box 1666, Shelbyville, TN 37162.
