Instride Facility

Special Olympics

InStride is the Equestrian facility for Sarasota County Special Olympics.  We provide coashing and training for qualified athletes to learn about horsemanship and equestrian sports.  Eath Athlete has the opportunity to participate in Are and County Equestrian Games and some of these athletes qualify for the State Competition.  This is a seasonal program running from January through May of each year.

Oak Park School

Since our inception, InStride has worked with the Sarasota County School District to provide quality hippotherapy services to qualified students at Oak Park School.  Over the years it has been fulfilling to work with students who might not otherwise be able to participate in our Hippotherapy program.

Parelli Natural Horsemanship

InStride is the homebase for Donna Blem, a 2-Star Licensed Parelli Professional (one of less than 300 in the world).  Do you have a dream of having a true relationship with your horse? Imagine going to the gate to get your horse and he is so excited to see you that he comes running to the gate.

Donna can be your guide. Every problem can be solved without force when you use love, language and leadership. This is why Parelli Natural Horsemanship has become the world’s leading method for preventing and solving problems and, most important, establishing a true relationship with a horse.

It teaches you how to see things from their perspective and to use strategies that make sense to the horse.  Begin your journey by contacting Donna on her cell at 941-223-4733 or by email.
