Exquisite Strides Adrianna and her equine team work together to help women deeply heal and step into their true joy. Hi!

I'm Adrianna, Certified Equine Gestalt Coach, lifelong horse girl, and owner and founder of Exquisite Strides.

No matter where you are in your journey, my horse team and I are here to help you connect with your identity, find balance and self-compassion, and step into your full power as

you work with full support through whatever it is that is holding you back in your life. Are you ready to take "exquisite strides" toward becoming your best self?

There’s something about being with a horse that brings you back to your body.

Our bodies carry so much more than just the physical things in life. Sometimes we think we’ve moved on because we’ve stopped talking about it. But our bodies still carry the story.

It can show up in the way we hold tension. The way we brace. The way we breathe. The way we respond before we’ve even had a chance to think.

Our emotional weight can cause us physical pain and even illness.

Sometimes healing doesn’t mean thinking harder or finding the right words. Sometimes we need to slow down enough to notice what our bodies have been trying to tell us.

Horses bring us into the present moment. They notice the subtle things that we’ve learned to overlook in ourselves. And through relationship, touch, movement, and simply being with them, they create the space for us to become aware of what we’ve been carrying. Often times they point it out for us. We just have to listen.

✨Come once or join us every week

Babies in the background? No problem! Come as you are, really.

And if you know a mom who could use a little more support and connection right now, please share this with her. šŸ¤

And just like that… it’s a wrap. šŸ¤

From horseback riding lessons to private clients, groups, and retreats, this has been such a beautiful season.

So much gratitude for the incredible people who make this work possible—from childcare to volunteers and barn help, and to every client who trusted this space and these experiences. I appreciate you.

But the biggest thank you goes to my partners, the horses. Without them, I’d probably be sitting behind a desk somewhere. Instead, I get to live a life that once felt like a dream—alongside these incredible horses who teach, support, and give so much every single day.

Thank you for a truly wonderful season. We’ll see you in the fall. ✨

Most people think they need more time. There are a million reasons… but what I see is that nothing changes when more time does appear.

Things change when you start using the time you already have differently. Even if it’s imperfect and uncomfortable. Even if it’s just one small step.

That’s where momentum actually starts.

Valentine’s Day was extra special in the barn this weekend ā¤ļø

Our Women’s Group experienced all the love from our team.

Giving moments.
Receiving moments.
ā€œI didn’t know I needed thisā€ moments.

There’s something that happens here… and it’s hard to put into words.

But you can feel it.

Some of the most powerful moments here don’t look dramatic.

A woman standing quietly next to a horse.
A long exhale she didn’t know she was holding.
Tears that finally feel safe to come out.

This is what our women + horses group is really like.

We meet again on the 14th.
A few spots are open in this small, pre-planned group if you’re ready to do some real inner work.

Held by the Herd šŸ¤
Women, Horses & Self

This winter–spring, I’ll be offering a six-session women’s equine gestalt group that feels like a natural continuation of the work many of you already know.

Held by the Herd is a small, relational group supported by horses, presence, and awareness. There’s no riding, no performance, and no expectation to arrive with anything figured out. The work unfolds through experience, relationship, and being with what’s here.

Winter–Spring Series Dates
January 24
February 14
February 28
March 28
April 11
April 25
šŸ•™ 10:00am–1:00pm

Cost
$40 per session for those who commit to the full series
Limited drop-in spots may be available at $60, as space allows

This group is trauma-informed, intentionally small, and paced to support choice and nervous system awareness.

If you feel drawn, you’re welcome to reach out to me directly to learn more or express interest. There’s time to feel into it.

I had the wonderful opportunity to participate in the Business & Principal Exchange Program and spend the morning at Marana Middle School with Principal Benjamin Rorem. I’m so grateful for the experience and for the Marana Chamber of Commerce for putting on this great program.

It’s clear how deeply Mr. Rorem cares about the future of our kids. His dedication and heart for his students is truly inspirational.
