STARS partners with Western Iowa Tech Community College to offer two Lifelong Learning Courses each summer: Learning to Communicate with Horses and Silver Saddles. A Lifelong Learning Membership with WITCC is required for both programs.

Learning to Communicate with Horses

  • Who: Adults 50 and over
  • What: A non-riding class focusing on how horses communicate and how to safely interact with them. Participants will engage in activities to build a relationship between horse and human.


Silver Saddles

  • Who: Riders aged 50 and older
  • What: A series of four classes (1.5 hours each) covering basic horsemanship skills, including grooming, tacking, walk-whoa transitions, steering, and trotting.
