The beautiful thing about being an inclusive facility is simple: if this is where you need to be…you belong here. 🤍

Your diagnosis doesn’t have to be severe or visible to “qualify” for what we offer. Healing comes in many forms. Our riders with less obvious conditions like anxiety, depression, confidence, or grief are right alongside those with autism, cerebral palsy, and genetic conditions. No matter the path that brings you here, you’ll find yourself with others who are also seeking something steady, safe, and supportive.

Our farm is a place where things slow down. Where the world quiets. Where our calm, gentle therapy horses meet you exactly where you are-no expectations, no pressure, just presence.

We may not be the right fit for those chasing the fast pace of barrel racing, weekend shows, or competitive riding (and that’s okay with us!) What we are is a place for healing, connection, and growth.

If you’re looking for peace, for confidence, for a moment to breathe (as a participant, volunteer, or supporter)…..reach for the Starz with us!

There’s something truly powerful that happens when missions align and that’s exactly what happens in our partnership with Camp Casey. For the last 10 years (currently starting our 11th season!!!), Miss Charlotte and one of our amazing horses from the hero herd bring healing on horseback throughout the summer through their Horsey House Call program!

Both of our organizations are rooted in the belief that horses have an incredible ability to heal, connect, and bring joy in ways nothing else can. Camp Casey creates unforgettable experiences for children facing cancer and other critical illnesses, while Starz Equestrian Center works year-round to serve individuals in our community through therapeutic riding, equine assisted activities, and genuine horse connections.

Together, we’re not just sharing horses-we’re sharing purpose. We’re showing up for families who need hope, for children who deserve to feel strong and free, and for a community that thrives when compassion leads the way.

Starz isn’t just a partner, we’re helping to make these moments possible. Our dedication to our horses, our riders, and our mission creates a ripple effect that reaches far beyond our barn.

Your continued support for Starz means supporting a program that pours directly back into the community. It means investing in healing, in joy, and in opportunities that change lives-one ride at a time.

We’re so proud of this partnership. Yee haw! 🤠

We’re so excited to share a special chapter in our journey this summer 🤎🐎

Twice this summer our herd will saddle up and hit the road to partner with an incredible nonprofit, Love For A Child, bringing the healing power of horses to their summer camps for Michigan’s foster youth.

These kids have weathered more storms than most, and this camp is a place where they can finally kick off their boots, breathe deep, and just be kids again-full of laughter, hope, and possibilities.

We truly believe there’s nothing quite like the quiet strength of a horse…the kind that doesn’t ask questions, doesn’t judge, and meets you right where you are. It’s the kind of unconditional love that can steady even the most restless hearts. And this summer, we’re honored to help create those once-in-a-lifetime connections…..between horse and child…..between healing and hope.

Moments like these don’t just happen; they’re built by a community that believes in the power of what we do. If you’ve ever wanted to be part of something meaningful, to help us continue bringing these life-changing experiences to those who need them most, we’d love to have you ride alongside us.

Stay tuned, follow along, and help us keep this mission moving forward-one hoofbeat at a time. 🤍

Saddle up…we’ve got some exciting news to share! 🤠

We’re beyond thrilled to partner with Walled Lake Consolidated Schools as the official home of their 2025–2026 Middle School Equestrian Team! Led by the amazing coaches Toni McDuffee and Tracy Walker, these riders are ready to rein in some serious skills, build strong teamwork, and put in the hard work before their big meet in June.

We can’t wait to watch this team grow, chase their goals, and become part of our farm family. It’s going to be one shining season! 🌟

I’ll share a full recap of the day soon, but I can’t help but pause and feel so grateful. The people who have trusted us with their incredible animals mean the world to me and nothing brings me more joy than to take the time to share pictures of them bringing joy and smiles to others. I hope they know just how loved and appreciated they are.
💜💖💜

Well I didn’t expect to cry this morning but listening to someone else experience the unlikely therapeutic magic of horses got me right in the feels.

Yee haw! I am incredibly honored and grateful to have been named 2025 Equestrian of the Year by Saddle Up magazine. It’s hard to put into words what this means to me and for all your support, love, and votes!

This recognition is not just mine; it belongs to the amazing horses who do the real work, the dedicated volunteers who give their time so selflessly to this mission, and the supporters in our community who believe in what we do. Every small act of kindness, every lesson, every moment in the barn adds up to something so much bigger.

In the article, my sister shared about the heart behind my program, but the truth is, it’s the phenomenal horses around me who make it all possible. I’m just lucky to be a part of it and to facilitate the learning and magic of these majestic creatures.

Thank you to everyone who has supported, encouraged, and trusted me along the way. I’m so grateful and even more motivated to keep growing, learning, and giving back through the horses we love!!! Cheers to all my fellow equestrians and our equine partners!

Ps. Googling how I’m actually supposed to attach this to a belt 🙃 Sorry western riders…..I’m an eventer. Lol
