Owners Laurie Messner and Randy Patton began Winning Strides in 2000 with the philosophy that horses thrive in a herd environment. They designed their facility so that each field encompasses 40 acre pastures where the horses graze freely. Laurie believed in developing a multi discipline equine community, built on the solid foundation of classical horsemanship with harmony between horse and human. Over the years the programs have grown to include popular summer camps; and riding programs from beginner to accomplished riders in Western and English. In 2009, the Journeys Therapeutic Riding Society evolved encompassing Equine Assisted Learning – completing our diverse equine community. The dedicated team at Winning Strides continues to provide exceptional service for each owner and rider to succeed. Laurie and Randy live their mission daily to provide you with safe, effective and dynamic horsemanship so you can enjoy a lifetime of equine opportunities.
