Hello Stars,

I’m excited to share that I’m currently working on a zine that celebrates what we’ve been building through our Star Trials community.

Growing up, I used to get completely lost in the pages of magazines I’d find at Coconuts, 7-Eleven or Borders (RIP). Mountains of shelves filled with Slam magazine, Architectural Digest, Juxtapoz, and The Source made my imagination explode. They weren’t just magazines, they were tactile gateways to worlds I hadn’t seen or heard yet. The paper felt alive. Long before the constant scrolling on our phone, those physical pages showed me how powerful it is to hold inspiration in your hands.

That’s why this zine matters. In an age dominated by digital media, we’re craving something real again. This zine will be something you can travel with and share with friends. It’s a return to the roots of creativity, something tangible, and full of life. Star Trials isn’t just a community, it’s a story unfolding one step, one page at a time. And this zine is the next chapter. Stay tuned. Zine in progress. by @startrls

The first time I ever rode a horse was with Star Trails. Being assigned the biggest horse that day was intimidating, but taking the reins and overcoming that fear became part of the experience. The beauty and presence of the horses at Memory Lane Stables in Willow Springs left a lasting impression on me and later became one of the inspirations behind this project.

With 2026 being the Year of the Horse, it felt natural to connect that experience with the direction Star Trails is heading. I wanted The Lone Star project to represent strength, resilience, and new beginnings, values that continue to shape both myself and the community around Star Trails. I wanted to bring the idea to life through art, which led me to collaborate with my friend and artist @ramiro_arte_

Ramiro’s distinctive style blends bold expressive brush strokes of the nopal cactus with sharp detailed lines of its thorns. His style perfectly captured the beauty, and energy I envisioned for this piece.

As Star Trails enters year three, I want to continue building community not only through the outdoors, but also through art, food, and culture. I’ve met so many amazing people on the trails, and now I’m excited to create spaces that bring people together beyond them.

Special thank you to @novel.pizza for opening their space to us and serving a beautifully crafted drink “The Lone Star,”

What’s an experience that inspired you? by @startrls

Thank you to @ramiro_arte_ for bringing this project to life. Ramiro is truly gifted and one of my favorite artist. The creative process is equally as important as the end result, so here are a few progress shots of Ramiro putting his talent to work.

Thank you to everyone involved and everyone that showed love. by @startrls

To celebrate the 2026 Year of the Horse, Star Trails reached out to artist @ramiro_arte_ to capture the strength, and freedom a horse represents.

The Year of the Horse reminds us that success comes from consistent focus, courage to explore new paths, and the ability to balance strength with community along the journey. Aligning these positive attributes with Star Trails, Ramiro created an original painting titled “The Lone Star,” This painting will be unveiled
