Aura Star Heights
Aura didn’t grow up with financial privilege. She honed her skills on overlooked and underestimated horses, and that experience shaped her core belief in second chances and the power of gentle, individualized training. As head trainer and rider for one of Long Island’s largest riding academies, she developed a wide range of horses and riders, from tiny ponies and first-time short stirrup riders to seasoned warmbloods and Big Eq competitors.
Now based in Ocala, Florida, Aura continues her mission through A.Star Equestrian LLC, a boutique program where every horse receives tailored care and thoughtful development.
