Starbrite Therapeutic Equestrian Center

Starbrite is a service organization that utilizes equine-assisted activities to spread the Love of Christ by empowering youth, adults, and veterans with a variety of needs and abilities.

At Starbrite Therapeutic Equestrian Center, we provide equine-assisted services that empower individuals of all abilities, including youth, adults, Veterans, active service members, first responders, and their families . Our programs are led by PATH International certified instructors and are designed to foster confidence, independence, and personal growth through the powerful connection between horse and participant.

Each ride, groundwork session, and interaction with our herd offers opportunities to build physical strength, emotional awareness, social skills, trust, and resilience. Whether it's a child developing balance and coordination, a Veteran finding renewed purpose, or a participant gaining confidence in their abilities, the impact of our work extends far beyond the barn.

Your support on East Texas Giving Day helps us continue providing these life-changing experiences to individuals and families across our community. Together, we can ensure that more people have access to the healing power of horses.

Testimonials

"Starbrite means so much to our family. It's not only therapeutic for Jesse, physically and mentally, but it also gives him an opportunity to participate in something special outside of traditional sports that can be challenging for kids like him. The Starbrite team has always been incredibly welcoming and accommodating to Jesse's needs, and that kindness and support will always mean the world to our family."- Rider Family

"McKinley's progress this year at Starbrite has astounded the traditional therapists that she has seen for years. The cognitive skills she has learned, as well as her physical abilities (that she has improved tremendously on), have carried over into our lives outside the barn: for that, we are extremely thankful and forever indebted to Starbrite Therapeutic Equestrian Center." -Caysi, Rider Parent

"My favorite part of Starbrite is the environment, the people, and especially the horses. Starbrite saved my life with my severe P.T.S.D & depression"- Veteran Rider
