Giddy Up & Give
Five University of Tennessee students have partnered with Shangri-La Therapeutic Riding Academy in Lenoir City to create a crowd-funding campaign, Giddy Up & Give, which works to give children and adults therapeutic experiences through horse-related activities.
These students “have until Wednesday, Dec. 6, to reach their goal,” said Jaydon Kelley, one of the students involved.
Giddy Up Give is working to raise $2,000 to help Shangri-La Therapeutic Riding Academy in Lenoir City — which uses horse-riding therapy as it works with children and adults ages 4 to 65-plus with mental, physical and neurological disabilities — buy three new saddles.
“These saddles are designed to help riders be comfortable and safe,” said Lexi Hall, another Giddy Up Give member and Hardin Valley Academy Class of 2023 graduate.
