St. Croix Trail Blazers is a nonprofit horseback riding organization in Stillwater that offers adaptive lessons to special needs individuals. Founded in 2010, the organization has grown to include over 60 riders and 14 horses, with lessons held six days a week. The program focuses on pattern work to help riders with executive functioning and interacting in a group setting.

The organization participates in the Special Olympics State Equestrian Games, where riders navigate their horses through various obstacles. Despite the competitive nature of the games, the focus is on having fun and supporting each other. St. Croix Trail Blazers also offers a Therapeutic Program for special needs individuals and an Our Heros Program for active duty or veteran military personnel and first responders.

St. Croix Trail Blazers is developing a mental health program that will involve riders working with a licensed therapist and an equine specialist. The program aims to help individuals work through their struggles and develop a bond with the horses to feel calmer. The organization emphasizes the therapeutic benefits of working with horses and the positive impact it can have on individuals facing challenges.
