STAR's 20th annual Bridles & Blue Jeans event was held on Saturday April 12, 2025!
Bridles and Blue Jeans is Shangri-La Therapeutic Academy of Riding's largest annual fundraising event which takes place at the heart of STAR, our barn and arena in Lenoir City. Forget the tuxedos and evening gowns, this is a casual event where you may come dressed in your favorite blue jeans and boots! We relax and enjoy the company of friends during this genuinely lighthearted evening as we gather in support of ​STAR participants with disabilities or other special challenges. 

​
Please contact Angela Bartlett, Development Director, for more information regarding sponsorship opportunities or attending in 2026!
