Company History: STAR began in 1987 as Lynn Petr’s Therapeutic Recreation Master’s thesis project at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. The program started with five riders, one horse, three volunteers and one employee (Lynn).

Our programs include; Therapeutic Riding, Heroes and Horses, Changing Strides, and Minis in Motion.
