Special Troopers Adaptive Riding School has been a part of the Siouxland community since 1984. Providing opportunities for individuals with a diagnosed disability to work with horses in a variety of ways.

STARS, Inc. has grown to be one of the oldest Non-Profit organization in Sioux City providing a wide variety of opportunities for individuals with disabilities such as Therapeutic Riding, Equine Assisted Learning, Equine Assisted Psychotherapy, and many more.

What started as an adaptive riding program has grown to include: Therapeutic Riding, Equine Assisted Learning, Equine Assisted Psychotherapy, Horse Camp, and most recently, a virtual literacy program. Each year STARS serves participants with emotional, intellectual, and physical disabilities from Siouxland and the greater tri-state area. 

Equine therapy is the practice of working with horses to improve the physical, cognitive, emotional, and social well-being of an individual. Equine therapies can be beneficial on horseback or through ground based activities. The simple movements of riding a horse rhythmically can move the rider’s body in a manner similar to a human gait, so riders with physical needs often show improvement in flexibility, balance, muscle strength, circulation, breathing and more. The unique relationship formed with the horse and the special mirroring abilities of the horse provides benefits such as increased confidence, patience, and self – esteem.
