This boy right here started it all. It’s his and my birthday month. 🎉🎈His name is Stuart Little. My father bought him for me 24 years ago this month. Stuart was 9 years old so that makes him old! He is still extremely healthy, happy and loves to chase everyone around to exercise them. This is how he looks at feed time. LOL!! He gets lots and lots of soaked pellets and food 3 times a day to keep him happy. At his age he has very few teeth so we have to soak his food. Just because he is old and retired doesn’t mean he is not important. He is still used at Sonshine ☀️ from time to time. He has taught me and tons of people like skills that only a horse can teach us. He will be here until he says otherwise. We love our seniors. ☀️💥💛

Say hello to Lela and Artie. Lela has been with Sonshine almost since the day we opened. She is our Equine Coordinator and does anything you need her to do. We are so blessed and grateful for her friendship and kindness. She loves our participants, families and horse as much as we all do. She is loved by everyone. Artie is a retired Standardbred that is equally amazing. Artie and Lela have a special bond. Thank you Lela for all you do for so many. 💛☀️💛☀️

What better way to show your appreciation to our volunteers then to take them to Lynch Horsemanship Obstacle Training Center. Our Sonshine team is the best in all the land. Dan and Julie pulled out all the goodies for our team and horse. They have a 5 ⭐️ facility that teaches patiences, relationship building with the horse and understanding the horses point of view. The how’s and why’s of training. This here is GOOD STUFF! We are thankful and blessed by you guys. Thank you Sonshine family for your support and dedicated to our horse and our program. We are living our best lives. ⭐️💥🤩🥵❤️🦄😘

Who We Are & What We Do

Sonshine Equine is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit therapeutic riding center located in Sussex County Delaware that serves children between the ages of 5-18. The center facilitates the healing of body, mind and soul through Equine Assisted Activity Therapy (EAAT) and the love of Christ.

EAAT is a therapeutic activity that uses the relationship that develops between a human and horse to positively effect the cognitive, physical, emotional and social well-being of the participants whether or not they have special challenges or needs.

Benefits of using Horses:


  • Improves Fine and Gross Motor Skills
