By witnessing all the lives that have been positively impacted at Shining Stars for over 20 years, we understand that a horse truly is an angel without wings. No matter what challenges our participants may be facing, they can always count on our horses to be there for them.

Caring for the herd is one of our largest annual expenses. The annual cost of feed, veterinary care, medication, shavings, bedding, and more equals roughly $1,200 per horse. By sponsoring a horse and covering these costs, you ensure that Shining Stars participants continue receiving benefits from our equine partners.

“I’ve been sponsoring a Shining Stars horse for a few years now. I’m fully convinced that horses are the most majestic animals on the earth. They are the quiet heroes with a special connection to each rider. Every time I hear about a rider speaking aloud for the very first time or being able to hold their bodies upright on their own, or overcoming a trauma, I give thanks for this program.”
