Empowering Lives Through Horses
Ride With Pride is Augusta County’s premier destination for equine-assisted therapies. We offer a nurturing space for individuals aged 4 and up facing intellectual, physical, or emotional challenges. Our programs are designed to unlock the potential within, providing paths to empowerment and healing.
Through the unique connection between horses and humans, we facilitate personal growth and joy. Each ride is more than just a lesson; it’s a step toward overcoming obstacles and achieving milestones in a supportive and inclusive community.
Annual Dinner and Auction
This year’s spectacular event will be held at the Backburn Inn, Staunton, VA on November 8, 2025 as we celebrate THIRTY-SIX YEARS of serving the Valley!
This is our largest fundraiser of the year; a fun and memorable evening supporting the Valley’s Therapeutic Riding Program as we support and benefit those in the Valley with special needs.
Every contribution brings us one step closer to enhancing our programs and enriching the lives of those we serve.
