Besides the sheer fun of it...
a huge dose of self-confidence comes with riding and horse-related activities!
Therapeutic Riding helps raise self-esteem, but it also teaches special needs students essential skills. It improves balance, builds trust, and starts a friendship with horse, rider, and volunteer. Students forget they're having physical therapy and lose themselves in the fun!
It takes a lot of hay, grain, and biscuits
to keep our horses happy... We need help with the feeding and care of our horses, vet bills, gas for trailers and hay for the barns. Your financial support of $1,500 would sponsor one horse for one year. We currently have 13 horses. Can you make a donation to help defray some of these expenses?
Zoning Amendments Approved!
The Straban Township Board of supervisors approved zoning amendments on June 7, 2010 and the Shining Stars Therapeutic Learning Center/indoor arena building project can NOW officially move forward!
Earlier this year, Shining Stars received a matching grant from the Thomas L. Cline Foundation for $100,000 to begin building the Shining Stars Therapeutic Learning Center.
