Starting the year off with a vet visit 💙
This is one of Lucky’s regularly scheduled appointments—every 3 to 6 months we take her to the Treasure Valley to see a specialist. Each visit costs approximately $300–$500, not including staff travel time.
If you know Lucky, you know she’s a staple of our program. She loves groundwork and plays a huge role in helping riders feel safe, supported, and comfortable in the saddle. She’s truly worth her weight in gold.
Your donations help us keep Lucky healthy and going strong, along with the rest of our herd. With 15 horses in our care, equine expenses are one of the largest parts of our budget.
Thank you for your continued support and for helping us provide top-notch care to the horses who make our mission possible. 🐴✨

Happy New Year from Rising Stars Therapeutic Riding Center!
As we say goodbye to 2025 and welcome 2026, we find ourselves reflecting with deep gratitude on everyone who has helped bring us to where we are today. What began as a small program serving just 18 participants has grown into something truly incredible—now reaching nearly 120 participants during the summer months and 80 throughout the rest of the year.
With that growth, we’ve gone from working with just a few horses to caring for almost 20 amazing equine partners who help make our mission possible each day.
How did we get here? Because of you. Our donors, supporters, participants, horses, volunteers, board of directors, and dedicated staff are the heart of Rising Stars. Each of you plays a vital role in helping us move forward and continue providing life-changing services.
We know these are challenging times for many, which makes your continued generosity and support even more meaningful. As we step into this new year, we wish you a very Happy New Year filled with hope, joy, and many blessings. Thank you for believing in our mission, standing beside us, and helping Rising Stars continue to grow and shine in 2026. 💛✨
Here’s to a year ahead filled with possibility—together.

🐴 National Day of the Horse 🐴
Today we celebrate the horses who give so much of themselves—strength, patience, healing, and heart. While our horses enjoy a well-earned break, our humans are busy catching up on paperwork and projects behind the scenes.
Even on quiet days, the work doesn’t stop. The bills still come in. The power is still on. And caring for our horses is still a big, ongoing commitment—vet visits, quality feed, bodywork, and maintaining 20 acres they call home.
This Day of the Horse is a reminder of just how much it takes to care for them well. Donations go directly toward our horses and essential operating expenses that keep our program running.
🎉 Celebrate our horses today—the ones who change lives simply by being who they are.
Every gift, big or small, helps us continue this important work. 💙🐎
“A horse doesn’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care.”
