Easter Seals Outreach Program:
We work closely with our local Easter Seals program to offer bi-weekly field trips for their clients to come out to the ranch and spend the day meeting the horses and watching riding & freestyle demonstrations. We are honored to have the opportunity to spend time with these wonderful visitors. Please follow us on Facebook for current updates and more pictures of recent events.

March 2013 Easter Seals Field Trip:
This was our very first visit from our local Easter Seals program and it was a huge success! This first event inspired our current bi-weekly program and we couldn't be more thrilled with this program's ongoing success!

July 2013 Easter Seals Field trip:
Our visitors from Easter Seal got to meet one of the geldings we had in for training named Chester. He was a huge hit with everyone and they really enjoyed getting to watch him play a game of "equine soccer" in the arena.
August 2013 Easter Seals Field Trip:
Another great visit from our Easter Seals group. Everyone was excited to get to see one of their favorite mares again, Scarlet and she didn't disappoint. She had a ball giving everyone lots of kisses and nuzzles and posing for pictures. We compile all the pictures onto discs for the clients so they have something they can take with them to remember their visits.
Community Outreach Program:
These horses lend themselves quite naturally to outreach work and love interacting with people of all ages. We feel that outreach work is a vitally important aspect of a well rounded program and we try to stay as active in our community as possible. Outings can include spending the day at one of our local feed stores community events, visiting retirement homes or hospice programs.
April 2013 Tractor Supply Demo Days Event:
We were invited to participate in a community event hosted by our local Tractor Supply. We brought Gideon, one of the gypsy geldings we had in training at the time and he was a total star! Gideon was the perfect ambassador for the gypsy breed, warmly greeting everyone he met with with sweet gypsy kisses.
2014 National Share Your Gypsy Day:
April 26th 2014 marked the First Annual "National Share Your Gypsy Day" and Starfire Gypsy Horses was thrilled to be able to be a part of this fantastic educational event. We represented the Gypsy breed at our local Tractor Supply in Yuba City, CA with none other than the phenomenal stallion, SD Murphy. Murphy is owned by our client, Amy Weiland of Cedar Creek Gypsy Horses and in currently in training with us for the upcoming show season.
The turnout couldn't have been better and SD Murphy showed his new fans what a Proper Gypsy Cob should be, in temperament, kindness, breed standard type and of course, his beauty. We had children and adults of all ages, fall in love with this wonderful breed. It was a day of joy, education and most of all, FUN...
We were invited INSIDE the store as well, and Murphy was a complete and total gentleman. We have been invited back for multiple events this year, and Murphy has truly shown how calm, gentle and ideal this breed is... We are honored and excited to have this AMAZING Stallion in our care, and with his Show Season coming up, we can't wait to see his achievements!!!
