Rider 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 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.
- $700 sponsors one rider
- $1,400 sponsors two riders
- $2,100 sponsors three riders
- $2,800 sponsors four riders

Horse Sponsorship
Horse Sponsorship is a great opportunity to contribute to STAR and help with the daily care of our horses. Each sponsorship is $1,500 for one year. These funds help to cover costs for grain, farrier, supplements, veterinary costs, and other items of necessity. Upon becoming a sponsor, your name will be placed on the stall door of your selected horse and the website for one year. Additionally, you will be mentioned in the next STAR newsletter. Please note your donation is 100% tax deductible.
To find out which horses need sponsored, call 865-988-4711.

Lesson Patron Program
STAR riders pay a portion of the actual cost of lessons. Therefore, 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 effective services to the special needs individuals in East Tennessee. Please contact the STAR office at 865.988.4711 for more information regarding the Lesson Patron Program.
Event Sponsorship
STAR needs corporate sponsors for all events including, but not limited to, Bridles & Blue Jeans, Songwriters in the Round, and the Regional Horse Show. Contact the development director by calling 865.988.4711 or email.
