Volunteers are essential to the success of STAR's programs helping with lessons, horse care, fundraising, office duties, facility maintenance and much more. STAR also partners with churches and school groups, Scouts, 4-H Clubs and corporations who provide service to our organization through diverse projects.

If you are interested in becoming a part of the STAR team, click here for more information.

Our STAR riders are asked to pay only a portion of the actual cost of lesson fees. We do not ever want to turn away a rider for inability to pay, therefore, we offer Rider Sponsorships to families who need financial help to ride at STAR. If you would like to sponsor a rider so they can experience the therapeutic benefits of the STAR program, please contact the office at 865.988.4711.

$600 sponsors one rider
$1,200 sponsors two riders
$1,800 sponsors three riders
$2,400 sponsors four riders

Several of our equine partners are in need of sponsors!! This is a great opportunity to contribute to STAR and help with the daily care of our horses. Each sponsorship is $1,250 for one year. (Our horse sponsorship has increased due to the rise in costs)These funds help to cover costs for grain, farrier, supplements, veterinary costs, and other items of necessity. Once becoming a sponsor, your name will be placed on the stall door of your selected horse.

STAR riders pay a portion of the actual cost of lesson fees. However, there are many costs to STAR associated with lessons that do not get passed on to the rider. With your donation, we will be able to continue providing cost efficient services to the disabled population of East Tennessee. Please contact the STAR office at 865.988.4711 for more information regarding the Lesson Patron Program.

STAR needs corporate sponsors for all events including Bridles & Blue Jeans, Hoofing & Hiking and the Regional Horse Show. Click here to inquire about STAR events.

Help STAR SAVE!

Do you feed Southern States, Legends, or Triple Crown feeds? If so, you can help STAR significantly reduce our feed costs. It’s simple: Just cut out the Proofs of Purchase (not the UPC code) from each bag you feed and bring them to us. You can drop them off at LC Feeds in Lenoir City or you can drop them in our collection bucket outside the office. For each proof we submit, Southern States Cooperative, Inc. will give us 25 cents to use to purchase feed! Over the past several months, this has added up to almost 25% of our feed bill!! With your continued support, we can cut our feed costs even more!
