Naples Therapeutic Riding Center to Host 21st Annual Bootstrap Boogie Barn Dance Under the Harvest Moon
NAPLES, Fla. — Western charm, live music and philanthropy will come together Saturday, Nov. 14, as Naples Therapeutic Riding Center hosts its 21st annual Bootstrap Boogie Barn Dance: Under the Harvest Moon.
The signature fundraising event, scheduled from 5 to 10 p.m. at the center's campus at 206 Ridge Drive in Naples, invites guests to trade their everyday attire for boots and Western-inspired fashion while supporting a mission that has transformed lives throughout Southwest Florida.
This year's celebration carries special significance as Naples Therapeutic Riding Center approaches its 30th anniversary in 2027, marking three decades of helping children and adults experience the physical, emotional and social benefits of connecting with horses.
Under the evening sky, guests will enjoy exceptional cuisine, handcrafted cocktails, live entertainment, dancing and spirited auctions. Attendees will also have opportunities to meet the center's therapy horses and learn more about the programs that make the organization an important resource for the community.
Beyond the festivities, the Bootstrap Boogie Barn Dance serves a greater purpose: raising funds to support equine-assisted services that help individuals develop confidence, independence, emotional well-being and meaningful connections.
Through therapeutic riding and other equine-assisted programs, Naples Therapeutic Riding Center serves children and adults with a range of physical, social, emotional and mental health needs. The center's approach emphasizes the unique relationship between humans and horses, creating opportunities for personal growth in a supportive environment.
The evening will also recognize the generosity of community supporters who help sustain the organization's mission. Health Care Logistics and Shelley and Steven Einhorn are presenting sponsors of this year's event.
As Naples Therapeutic Riding Center prepares to celebrate its 30-year milestone, the annual barn dance highlights the lasting impact of community involvement and the important role philanthropy plays in expanding access to its services.
For guests, the evening promises more than a traditional fundraiser. It offers an opportunity to experience Southwest Florida hospitality, celebrate the center's accomplishments and contribute to a future where more individuals can benefit from the connection between horses and people.
