Help support our “neigh”-bors at the Shangri-La Therapeutic Academy of Riding!
STAR works with children and adults aged four to 65+ with physical, mental, and neurological disabilities or those considered at-risk. With special programming for military veterans, Alzheimer’s patients, at-risk youth, and addiction recovery participants, the mission of STAR is to foster personal achievement by providing therapeutic experiences using horse-related activities for persons with disabilities or other special challenges. Serving more than 1,500 individuals through Equine-Assisted Services each year, we are proud to support their efforts in our community!
Can’t attend the Festival but still want to donate to such a good cause?
