Today we remember September 11th and honor the lives lost, along with all those who have served and sacrificed to protect and care for others in the years since.

At Starbrite, we're honored to serve Veterans, first responders, active service members, and their families through our Horses for Heroes program.

From all of us at Starbrite, we remember, today, tomorrow, and always. 🇺🇸

Today is the International Day of Charity, and we're using it as a reminder that Starbrite runs on generosity, big and small!!

To everyone who has already supported us through volunteering, donating, or just cheering us on, thank you. You make what we do possible!

If you've been looking for a simple way to give back, our Amazon wishlist is one of the easiest ways to support our horses and riders directly. Every item goes right toward what we need to keep programs running.

Check out the link below to see what's on the list! 🐴

Our volunteers showed up big today!

We had a volunteer work day at Starbrite to get the barn and arena ready for the fall semester, and it involved some serious deep cleaning. From top to bottom, this place is ready to go, and we are so excited to have our riders back!

Thank you to everyone who came out and put in the work today, we couldn't do what we do without you! 🐴

Did you know Starbrite has its own instructor training program? 🐴

If you love horses, love helping people, and have ever thought about turning that passion into a career, our CTRI (Certified Therapeutic Riding Instructor) program might be for you! Our instructors go through hands on training, real teaching experience, and mentorship before becoming certified to lead therapeutic riding lessons.

New cohorts start every August and January. Want to learn more? Hit the link below! ✨
