Join us for the Bridles & Blue Jeans event Saturday April 26th at the Shangri-La Therapeutic Academy of Riding in Lenior City. 

The annual Bridles and Blue Jeans fundraiser raises money to benefit the Shangri-La Therapeutic Academy of Riding (STAR). Its mission is to provide positive horse-related experiences for people with disabilities or other special challenges.

Participants learn to relate to the horses by caring for them and they learn physical skills, as well, by riding them. The horses are very special. They are all screened to be sure they have the temperament for this kind of program.

The evening is divided into three distinct parts. The first is a cocktail party and silent auction held in the stables. The horses were all there and attendees were encouraged to walk around and meet them. The second is dinner in the riding arena. And the third is a live auction of trips, meals, art and a horse.
