“We are honored to be recognized as the #1 entry platform in the industry by the Tech Equestrian at the American Horse Council’s Annual Conference.  This recognition truly showcases our company’s steadfast commitment to advancing equestrian sport through innovation, economic growth, and supporting all the varied associations that play a vital role in its success.”  – Tara Swersie, CEO of STRIDER.

The American Horse Council (AHC) is the nation’s leading trade organization for the $177 billion US horse industry, serving as a unified voice  on legislative and regulatory matters for all segments of the industry.  AHC members encompass distinguished organizations such as the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF), National Thoroughbred Racing Association, Jockey Club, National Reining Horse Association, United States Polo Association, and American Association of Equine Practitioners, and others, collectively contributing to the industry’s sustainability and growth.

STRIDER offers an innovative suite of digital services that streamline the entry and payment process for horse enthusiasts participating in competitions, educational activities, and industry events. The popular Strider entry platform, certified by the USEF to facilitate entries across all disciplines and breeds, supports over 1.2 million equestrians, show venues, and businesses within the diverse US horse market. This industry recognition cements STRIDER’s position as the preeminent entry platform across equine sport. 

This development follows on STRIDER’s successful launch last year, in collaboration with PayPal, of their highly acclaimed StriderPay payment processing system, enabling riders to conveniently pay entry fees with a couple taps on their phone via Venmo, credit/debit cards, or PayPal, directly to venues. 

STRIDER is continuously innovating to meet the evolving needs of the horse industry. For more information about STRIDER and its continued success driving growth across equine sport, please visit www.striderpro.com.
