About this Event
Please join us for our third annual Fall Farm Fundraiser to support our non-profit therapeutic riding program, Starz Equestrian Center. Starz utilizes the healing power of horses to meet the needs of the community whether that is by supplying weekly riding lessons for those with physical, mental, or emotional special needs, those impacted in the community by the Oxford School Shooting, or providing a curriculum for Girl Scout troops to obtain their horse knowledge badge.
Your ticket includes a buffet-style family friendly meal, dessert table, horses and other farm animal meet, kid's craft station, face painting, photo station, corn hole, beginner line dance lessons and open dance floor, silent auction, and a bonfire. **Because our event does not have a liquor license, alcohol will not be supplied at the event, however patrons are welcome to bring their own beverages and drink responsibly.** Join us in celebrating our 2025 Star Student, Artie Barnes, and hear about how horses have impacted his life!
Tickets are $50 for presale (ends 10/31) ($60 11/1-11/8) and $20 for children 5 and under.
All proceeds go to providing more outreach in our community with our horses and our current goal of adding physical and occupational therapy onsite at our facility. Our equine community center is open to anyone that needs to experience the healing power of horses.
If you cannot attend, please consider donating to our program. We are a 501c3 non-profit and all donations are tax-deductible. Anyone interested in donating something to our silent auction or becoming a sponsor, please contact us at [email protected].

Want to know how your support is helping our community?
In 2024, we were able to purchase a 20 acre farm to continue expanding our programming, completely renovate our fencing system and removed the dangerous electric fencing, add a horse to our herd, host 20 Girl Scout troops, host summer camps in partnership with Detroit Horsepower and Friendship Circle, provide equine activities for wards of the state, and provided 2 students with scholarship opportunities over the year to keep them in the saddle.
In 2025, we added heat to the arena to allow the environment to remain comfortable for our riders who participate with us year round. We were able to construct 4 lean to sheds for our horses, added 4 horses to our herd, created a school program with Keys Grace Academy who attends once a month, hosted 35 Girl Scout Troops, hosted summer camp for 4 weeks with Detroit Horsepower, hosted group team building events, attended the Oakland County 4H show, and provided 3 students with scholarship opportunities.
In 2026, we hope to draw up plans for construction our equine community center building, which will house summer camps, allow options for Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, and Speech Therapists to run sessions before utilizing equine connections, as well as offering enrichment such as music classes, yoga classes, and open sensory gym time. We are also directly working on a homeschool pilot program and introducing community sessions within our local library.
We are so thankful you've decided to join us on this ride!
Thanks for your ongoing support and helping us reach the STARZ!
