🌅🐴 A Sunrise Delivery for Our Herd!

While most of Middle Tennessee was still sleeping, a tractor-trailer full of hay was rolling into Saddle Up! this morning! 🚛🌾

Keeping our incredible horses healthy and ready to serve children and young adults with disabilities takes a LOT of hay, daily care, and generous support from our donors.

💚 Every gift helps us care for the horses who make our mission possible.

Help keep our herd healthy and our barn full! Make a gift today with the link in our bio.

Some people give their time.

Some give their resources.

Some do both.

Together, they make Saddle Up! possible.

As we head toward the season of giving, we're celebrating ALL the ways people invest in this mission.

Because generosity isn't just about a dollar amount.

It's deciding:

“This matters, and I want to be part of it.”

That's how communities change lives.

Why support Saddle Up!?
Not because we have horses.
Not because we have a beautiful farm.
Not even because we have great programs.
Support Saddle Up! because of what becomes possible here.
Strength. Confidence. Communication.
Independence. Friendship. Belonging. Joy.
A horse may help make it happen.
Your generosity helps make sure someone gets the opportunity.

🌅🐴 The magic at Saddle Up! begins long before the first rider arrives.

There’s something special about mornings on the farm. The sun rises, the horses graze peacefully, and a dedicated team is already hard at work.

Before the first therapy session or riding lesson begins, our early morning crew has cared for the herd and prepared the farm for another day of changing lives.

They are our unseen heroes. Often gone before our riders arrive, they may never witness the smiles, milestones, and moments of triumph they help make possible.

💚 To our morning crew, THANK YOU! Thank you for showing up with love, dedication, and a genuine passion for our horses and our mission.

Because at Saddle Up!, the magic doesn’t begin in the arena. It begins with the people who show up before the rest of the world wakes up. 🐴💚

The support from our community for Chukkers for Charity Polo Match is incredibly special, and we are still in awe of the community support we received this past weekend!

Events like this do so much more than bring us together for a great day on the field—they directly fuel life-changing missions right here in our community. Every dollar raised empowers Saddle Up! to provide transformative equine-assisted activities and therapies for children and young adults with disabilities, and supports Rochelle Center in offering vital programs that enhance independence and skills for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Bringing a day of this scale together takes a incredible network of local partners working behind the scenes.

A heartfelt thank you to B • C R E A T I V, Blackbird Media, Chef's Market , Curated Events, Dan Rice Designs, Franklin Polo Academy, GFL, Holly Consults, Lipman Brothers, Lithographics Inc. , Nashville Geek, Nashville Pizza Company, PMC Parking, SiteOne Landscape Supply, Whitney’s Cookies , and WOW Windowboxes Nashville for all of your incredible support.

Your dedication and generosity make our work possible every single day. We are endlessly grateful!

The magic behind Chukkers? Our volunteers. ❤️🐎

What an incredible 30th Annual Chukkers for Charity Polo Match! While the polo, traditions and beautiful setting make the day unforgettable, it’s the people behind the scenes who truly make Chukkers so special.

To our amazing co-chairs, our dedicated event committee, the crews who spent countless hours setting up and tearing down, our auction volunteers, check-in teams, hospitality helpers, runners, problem-solvers, and every person who simply asked, “What else can I do?” — THANK YOU.

You gave your time, your energy, your talents and probably a few sore muscles to make this milestone celebration a huge success. Chukkers has always been about community coming together to create an impact for Rochelle Center and Saddle Up! and year after year, our volunteers are the heartbeat of that community.

Thank you to our friends at HCA Healthcare , Phoenix Club of Nashville , SoWilco Nashville NCL and to Nashville Pizza Company for keeping us well fed!

You are the magic that makes Chukkers, Chukkers. We could never do it without you. ❤️
