Gardiner
Farm, in Tuscumbia, Alabama, will be hosting a trail ride this weekend, July
18-19, as the second part of their annual Saddle Up for St. Jude
fundraiser. Last weekend’s team roping event raised $6,000. Starting
Saturday, participants will have the chance to contribute to the event’s
fund-raising efforts by taking part in a long or short trail ride. Riders are
encouraged to raise $35, and all proceeds benefit St. Jude Hospital. The 2007
event raised $119,500 in total, more than any other Saddle Up event in the
country. In addition to the trail ride, there will be nightly country music
concerts and pony rides. For more information, call (800) 282-7436.
