Southern STARRS, based in NARHA’s operating standards, was co-founded by Terry and Saranne Winfield, who participate as advisors to a 15-member Board of Directors, which includes equine, health, media and legal professionals. It is supported by a broad range of volunteers with experience in horse care, physical and recreational therapy and disability training, and collaborates with other area youth service organizations.

 The non-profit status of Southern STARRS allows the facility to open its program to any individual (minimum age is 3 year old) who have been diagnosed with a physical or mental disability free of charge.  Parents or guardians may contact the facility for appropriate forms and a facility volunteer will contact them with further information.  STARRS now has a completed barn with an indoor riding ring and this is the first year the program will be able to be open with year-round consistent scheduling.  The program currently offers classes on Saturday mornings and Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings in 12-week sessions.
