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.

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 $1,000 for one year. 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 has 5 barn cats that need to be fed! A $150 sponsorship will cover the cost of food, veterinary care and any thing else these furry critters need.
