OUR PROGRAMS
Find the Right Fit for You
Starbrite offers a variety of options for Veterans, Service Members & First Responders in our community. If you are not sure what is the best fit for you, please contact us and our Program Director can talk you through all of the options! Below is a brief listing of our current programming.
Grooming & Groundwork
No riding required.
Groundwork sessions help build self-awareness, communication, trust, confidence, and emotional well-being while working alongside one of our horses. Whether you’re new to horses or simply prefer staying on the ground, your instructor will tailor each session to help you reach your individual goals.
Riding Sessions
Individuals/Groups/Families
Riding horses can aid in emotion awareness, establishing trust, communication skills, increase sequence memory, balance and body awareness to name a few. If you have never ridden or are an accomplished rider you and your instructor will work together to meet your individual goals. Learn to rope, barrel race, trail ride or maybe join the mounted color guard team.
What Participants are Saying
"Starbrite’s silent therapists carry insight of healing in their hearts and offer it to any child, Veteran, or individual who is seeking a place to heal."
Veteran Rider
"Riding gives us something to bond over and more things to connect on. I get to see my family’s progress and I can tell them how proud of them I am. Horses are something that medication and psychotherapy can’t fix… they are healing for the soul and man’s need for adventure."
Veteran Rider
"I look so forward to relieving my stress by spending time with the horses, especially my Sevvy. The relaxation I feel while riding is so very helpful to me."
