Hoofing & Hiking for STAR was held on September 26th at Dry Ridge Farm in Loudon, TN. Pat and Paul Green opened their beautiful farm to STAR for this annual fall fundraising event. Twenty-seven riders saddled up their horses and sixty-three hikers laced up their sneakers to hit the scenic trails at the farm. Your support of STAR raised over $15,000!
After riding or hiking, everyone bid on silent auction items that were graciously donated by local merchants and enjoyed a “star” performance by STAR Riders who demonstrated their riding skills.
The top money raisers for this year were Top Rider – Michelle Bowen and Top Team – Radio Systems.
The day would not have been a success without the help of our volunteers, board members and sponsors!
