Saddle Up
To the Editor: "Saddle Up for St. Jude" held on Saturday, April 26, 2008 at Standing Indian Campground was a huge success. There were at least 37 riders who showed up with their horses and rode the Hurricane Loop for the annual fundraiser for St. Jude Hospital for Children located in Memphis, TN. No child is turned away from this children's cancer research hospital. All the care required for every child at St. Jude's is fully covered and the National Saddle Up for St. Jude Ride is one of the largest fundraisers for the hospital. The Tri-County Equine Association sponsors this ride each year. We solicit donations and then meet on a specified date and location to ride our trusty beloved horses for the sake of St. Jude's. After the ride, a picnic lunch and raffle of gifts from our sponsors is shared with everyone there. Besides the members of the horse club, members of the Mountaineer riders headed up by Robert Mull, the County Mounties lead by Lawrence Beal, and many other interested horse folks participated. We want to thank you all! The committee who put this ride together worked hard for many weeks. They include Barbara Kissling, Paula Wilde, Esther Brunson, Debbie Jerrell, Jenny Ingmire and myself. Thanks girls for your time and energy.
