Positive Strides is a therapeutic riding center located in Preston, MD. We serve children and adults who reside on the Eastern Shore. Formerly Talbot Special Riders, we changed our name to Positive Strides on 3/30/19. Our new name, Positive Strides, reinforces the confidence, self-esteem and optimism that our riders achieve through our therapeutic programs. From autism and addiction recovery to PTSD and cerebral palsy, equine therapy can play a powerful role in giving a person the confidence and skills they need to live a fulfilling life. Our CATCH Riders program helps youth at risk and adults recovering from family violence and sexual abuse. Just brushing and interacting with a horse can calm a person with dementia or help someone with depression. Our riders have been able to meet and/or exceed their goals of self confidence and independence, and are striding forward to a positive future.
