🎄✨ Merry Christmas from Rising Stars ✨🎄

Christmas is a season of generosity, gratitude, and love. As we celebrate the joy of this day, we’re reminded how powerful giving can be—how it brings hope, healing, and light to others.
We are deeply thankful for every person who supports Rising Stars, believes in our mission, and gives from the heart. Your generosity helps make all we do possible, not just at Christmas, but throughout the year.
🎄 Please note: Rising Stars will be closed December 25th and 26th as we spend time resting and celebrating with family.
From our Rising Stars family to yours, we wish you a very Merry Christmas filled with peace, joy, and blessings. 🐴

🐴 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.”

Remember that friend who put out a call to help us raise funds for a new trailer? Thanks to that amazing push — along with generous grants from Glanbia, The Seagraves Family Foundation, the Maurice Bowers Trust, and a donation from Quality Trailers in Caldwell — we were able to purchase our NEW trailer!
It was immediately put to work taking a full load for routine dental care and the vet. Our horses and people are very grateful!
Karen Ambrose ~ ASB Ventures (Andy & Susan Barry) ~Baily’s Garage and Construction ~ Cedar Ridge Dairy LLC ~ Sheila & Earl Dutt ~ Jaime & Pete Espil ~ Britney Featherston ~ Brenda & Doug Fuchs ~ Hagerman Valley Inn (Melissa Barry) ~ I Bagel You Pardon (Katie Yeary) ~ Annie Mabry ~ Glenn Piper ~ Ray and Corinne Theitten ~ Brandy Thorne ~ Ryan & Desiree Visser.
We are also grateful for Charlie and Melody Lenkner who allowed us to borrow their trailer while we were in limbo and we are so grateful to everyone who donated, shared, and supported us in making this happen. Thank you for helping us move forward!!
