Who says art is just for humans? 🎨🐴 Penny, one of our amazing equines, got creative during a fun painting session using her nose and non-toxic, washable paint! Her masterpiece is as unique as she is, and we loved watching her enjoy the process.
Rose is off to “Pony Boot Camp” with Ronnie, a career horseman, Army Veteran, and dedicated Starbrite volunteer! Over the next month, during our program break, she’ll be refining her skills both on the ground and in the saddle. At just 10 years old, Rose is the youngest member of the Starbrite herd, and while she already has an excellent basic-to-intermediate foundation, this advanced training will help her shine even brighter. We can’t wait to see how she grows through this experience! ✨
As we look back on 2024, we’re filled with gratitude for an incredible year at Starbrite. This year, we proudly served 90 participants, including 46 in our Therapeutic Riding Program and 44 through our Horses for Heroes initiative. Our herd grew stronger with the addition of three wonderful new horses, and we now have the support of over 150 dedicated volunteers, who are the heart of everything we do.
Together, we’ve created countless moments of growth, connection, and empowerment—whether it’s a rider achieving a new milestone, a volunteer learning new skills, or a veteran finding strength and healing. None of this would be possible without the generosity and commitment of our supporters.
Thank you for believing in our mission and making this year so impactful. Here’s to continuing this incredible journey together in 2025. 🐴💙 #Happynewyear
Suspects are still at large...👀🐴 #HorseSuspects #StarbriteHorses
Let’s talk about Zane—one of the many reasons we’re working hard this Giving Tuesday.
For Zane, Starbrite isn’t just a place to ride horses; it’s a space for growth, achievement, and confidence. His family shared:
"Riding and caring for the horses has done wonders for Zane’s hip and leg function. His doctor said it’s the best form of therapy he could have."
Moments like Zane and his horse Sevvy side-stepping without assistance remind us why we do what we do. You can now watch this incredible moment for yourself and see the confidence it brought to Zane.
Your gift today helps participants like Zane reach new milestones, both in the arena and in life. Let’s keep the momentum going—because every story matters.
