Forward Stride is a therapeutic equestrian center based in Beaverton, Oregon, operating within the wellness and fitness services field. It carries PATH International Premier Accreditation, reflecting its status in therapeutic riding and related therapies. The organization uses horse-centered activities and therapies to enhance participants' quality of life, integrating care for both people and horses. Over its more than twenty-five-year history, Forward Stride has focused on building confidence, relationships, and new skills through the healing interaction with horses. Its programs emphasize comprehensive support to address emotional, cognitive, and physical development.

Since 2003, Forward Stride has touched the lives of more than 2,091 people, and it currently serves about 270 participants each week. A significant portion of participants and volunteers have special needs: approximately 87% of riders and 20% of volunteers self-identify as having a physical, cognitive, or emotional challenge. The organization supports a community of long-term participants, with a number of riders remaining with Forward Stride for several years. In November 2024, Forward Stride announced a partnership with Naranorthwest to collaborate with the Native American Rehabilitation Association to bring equine-assisted healing to Native American youth.
