additional ways to help

Participant Sponsorship

Our STAR riders are asked to pay only a portion of the actual cost of lessons. We do not ever want to turn away a rider for inability to pay, therefore, we offer Participant Sponsorships and Lesson Patronage to families who are in need of financial assistance to ride at STAR.

If interested in sponsoring  a participant or becoming a lesson patron, call 865-988-4711 or email us. ​

​Horse Sponsorship

Horse sponsorship is an excellent way to contribute to STAR and help with the daily care of our horses, helping to cover costs for grain, farrier and veterinary expenses, supplements, and any necessary items.
​
If interested in sponsoring a horse or for more information, call  865-988-4711 or email us.

​Event Sponsorship

Throughout the year, STAR hosts several fundraising events to help offset annual operational costs and raise funds for our many programs. These events are often in need of sponsorship as well as volunteers.

If interested in sponsoring an event or for more information, call 865-988-4711 or email the Director of Development.
