Our Vision

Who We Are
A woman named Gay O’Rourke founded Acts 19:11, now know as StableStrides, because of a community need for alternative therapy options. As the oldest and largest equine assisted activities and therapies center in Southern Colorado, we are also the only Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International (PATH Intl.) Premier Accredited center in the area. We have a passion for healing and believe that horses enhance the healing process in a way that nothing else can.

“I believe in StableStrides and the incredibly valuable service you all provide to all the families that come through the facility doors. I’ve seen the kid’s faces light up with joy and seen the new confidence and strength, that they grow when they are on horseback. I know that this therapy manifests into a better quality of life, both at and away from the stables, for the riders and their families.”
