Southlands Therapeutic Riding Society (STaRS)

Want to join me in making a difference? Every year, Manny and I will choose an organization close to our hearts to raise money for. In 2025, we have decided to organize this fundraiser to benefit Southlands Therapeutic Riding Society. I have been volunteering with Rachel (seen in the photo), who has been riding since she was 4 years old. Now in her 30’s, she is still riding weekly and very much part of the STaRS community. Every year Rachel does a fundraiser for STaRS ⭐️ and I was so inspired by her story, I decided to join her. Please consider helping STaRS, an amazing organization in honour of Rachel, a dear friend and avid horse rider.

Southlands Therapeutic Riding Society (STaRS) is a registered, non-profit charity that provides therapeutic equestrian opportunities for individuals living with physical, developmental, cognitive and/or mental health challenges. STaRS is a proud member of the British Columbia Association of Therapeutic Riding (BCTRA) and an accredited member of the Canadian National Therapeutic Riding Association (CanTRA).

Therapeutic equestrian opportunities include horseback riding, horsemanship and equine facilitated therapy. STaRS, believe that facilitated partnership with horses and nature can uncover strengths, inspire possibilities and nurture empowerment.

STaRS depends solely on donations, grants and volunteer time. Donations and volunteers are crucial to their success.

Every bit counts so please consider helping in anyway you can. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.

Love Vanessa
