🤠 Boots ’n Bling 2026: A Night of Fun, Community & Impact

Dust off your boots, add a little bling, and get ready for an unforgettable evening supporting Stirrups ’n Strides Therapeutic Riding Center!

On December 5, 2026, we’re bringing our community together for Boots ’n Bling, an exciting fundraising event dedicated to supporting the riders, horses, volunteers, and programs that make Stirrups ’n Strides so special.

Boots ’n Bling is more than a night out—it’s an opportunity to have fun, connect with friends, support a meaningful local mission, and make a lasting difference in the lives of children, adults, and veterans who participate in our programs.

🎶 A Night You Won’t Want to Miss

Round up your friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors and join us for an evening filled with live music, dancing, food, drinks, a silent auction, games, giveaways, and plenty of surprises!

We are especially excited to welcome Cliff Dorsey and Band to provide live music for the evening. Get ready to kick up your heels, enjoy great music, and dance the night away!

Whether you come to dance, socialize, bid on an auction item, enjoy the food and drinks, or simply support Stirrups ’n Strides, there will be something for everyone.

🐴 Why Your Support Matters

Every ticket, sponsorship, donation, and auction purchase helps support the mission of Stirrups ’n Strides.

Our therapeutic riding program provides opportunities for individuals with physical, cognitive, emotional, and developmental challenges to build strength, confidence, independence, communication, balance, and life skills through the partnership between horse and rider.

Our horses are an important part of that journey. They require year-round feed, hay, veterinary care, farrier services, supplements, equipment, and safe facilities.

Funds raised through Boots ’n Bling help provide these essential resources while supporting programming throughout the year.

Your participation helps ensure that riders can continue to experience the joy of riding, the accomplishment of learning new skills, and the confidence that comes from overcoming challenges.

✨ NEW THIS YEAR: Year-Round Program Advertising!

We are excited to introduce something new for Boots ’n Bling 2026—a full event program featuring advertising opportunities for businesses, families, riders, volunteers, and supporters.

And this program won't simply disappear after the December 5th event.

We will continue using the program throughout 2027 to promote Stirrups ’n Strides and showcase the accomplishments of our organization, riders, volunteers, horses, and supporters.

That means your advertisement can receive year-long exposure while supporting a great cause!

Businesses can choose from:

⭐ Full-page ad – $300
⭐ Half-page ad – $175
⭐ Quarter-page ad – $100

This is a wonderful opportunity to showcase your business while helping Stirrups ’n Strides grow into 2027.

💙 Tell Your Story

The program isn't just for businesses.

Riders and volunteers can also participate!

Share your story, celebrate an accomplishment, recognize someone special, or tell the community how Stirrups ’n Strides has impacted your life.

Maybe therapeutic riding helped you gain confidence. Maybe your child accomplished something you never thought possible. Maybe volunteering changed your perspective or gave you a place to belong.

These stories matter.

They help our community understand the real impact of Stirrups ’n Strides and show why supporting therapeutic riding is so important.

🎁 Silent Auction Donations

We're also looking for silent auction items and baskets!

Businesses can donate a product, service, gift certificate, experience, or themed basket while getting their name in front of our guests.

It's a great way to showcase your business, connect with potential customers, and support our mission at the same time.

Every donation helps make the evening more successful and provides additional resources for our riders and horses.

🤠 Become a Sponsor

We have new table and sponsorship options available for Boots ’n Bling 2026.

Sponsorship is a great way to show your support for Stirrups ’n Strides while gaining recognition throughout the event and in our new 2027 program.

Your business can be part of an event that brings together community members who care about making a difference.

Whether you choose to sponsor a table, purchase an advertisement, donate to the silent auction, or simply attend the event, you are helping create opportunities for our riders.

🌟 Let's Make It Unforgettable

Boots ’n Bling is about celebrating what we can accomplish when a community comes together.
