We forward to seeing you tomorrow, Saturday, January 24, at the Rising Stars Saturday Event from 9 to 10:30. We will have 1 more event like this, next Saturday, January 31st.

Starting in February, we will only have Meet and Greets on the second Saturday of the month, with no rides. The other Saturdays you will be able to schedule private lessons. We will be giving out more information. This change will open up more lesson slots on the weekend for our families.

Ric and Ruth Morris spoke at the Masonic Home in Chovina today and talked about the Rising Stars of Equestrian Therapy program, the Soldiers Helping Soldiers, and our Silver Fox Follies. They were very excited about all of the things we do to help people.

Another great success story for Rising Stars of Equestrian Therapy! Today, we connected with our client, Christa, who has extremely benefited from counseling with Deborah Garland, LMFT. They allow the horses to take their stress so they can work out situations.

Christmas used our pictures from our website to make Diamond Art. It took her 3 months to make the photographs with the tiny Diamond pieces!!!! It was a labor of love ❤️😍💖 Then she made 3 D chess horse Rooks and a horse head she painted.

We gave her a painted horse Christmas tree ornament and 2 bracelets with beads and cowboy boots. She was thrilled.

On Tuesday, she gave Ruth a 3 D rattle that she made for our newest great granddaughter.

We had an emergency veteranian call for Phoenix. Fortunately, the boarders near our stalls witnessed Phoenix calling out, laying down, and in distress. Fortunately, our vet was on the property and gave Phoenix a good exam. She sedated Phoenix and was able to do a re**al exam and place a hose through her nose to check her stomach. I am so impressed with our team of veterinarians! Hopefully Phoenix will be well soon. We will keep an eye on her. Thanks for your prayers!

This bill will be big, so please share as much as you can to help us. God bless you abundantly!!

Happy New Year! We are ready for an exciting year ahead with the RisingStarsofEquestrianTherapy. We will have our Saturday Event, but there are no rides. It will be a time to connect with our horses 🐎. We don't have enough help to provide rides. All horses celebrate their birthdays in January, no matter what month when the horse was born. We will celebrate birthdays for Phoenix, Chuck, and Rosie.

We will offer time to groom the horses and feed them apples and carrots. You can get great personal
photos. We will still have fun!!

We need to announce a price increase to our private lessons. Half hour lessons are $55. Hour lessons are $100. Many of our clients use the Self is great for our clients.

Happy "Giving Tuesday!"

Rising Stars needs your help! Due to the rains in November, we offered few lessons, thus, little income. We need a minimum of $3400 monthly to pay stable fees, feed, and salary. If you know people who have a giving heart ❤️ please share our need with them so they can help us.

We also need to find a home for Rosie and get a new horse that is strong enough to hold our bigger riders.

We want to thank Mella for donating her 2 helmets when she was younger. She misses being with the horses and enjoyed her time with us last Friday. Thanks, Mella. We deeply appreciate your donation of youth helmets.

We do plan to have our Rising Stars Open House on Saturday, December 6 and 13, from 9 to 10:30. See you there.

We wish you a blessed Holiday season of Hanukkah and Christmas.

No Rising Stars Open House Saturday morning, November 22. It will take a row boat to get through the muddy arena. We plan to host 2 more Open House events on December 6 and 13 from 9 to 10:30. We don't meet in rain, over 90 degree weather, and under 50 degrees.

We wish you a joy filled family Thanksgiving. The pictures are of some of the Silver Fox Follies cast who performed at Merrill Gardens for Veteran's Day in Rancho Cucamonga. Great joy was shared for all. Veterans were shown respect and honor. There was even a World War II veteran in the audience. We are grateful for our military veterans. Thank you for your service. The cast enjoys performing for different groups. All proceeds go to the Rising Stars program.
