About the Event

Join us at Lothlorien Therapeutic Riding Center for a fun-filled evening of live music, great food, and community, all set right here at the barn in East Aurora. Whether you’ve supported Lothlorien for years or are joining us for the first time, this event is a chance to come together, celebrate, and make a meaningful impact.

Boots & Bling is our largest annual fundraiser and plays a vital role in supporting everything we do. For over 40 years, Lothlorien has provided life-changing equine-assisted programs for individuals of all abilities. Funds raised from this event help care for our horses, support daily operations, and provide scholarships that make our programs accessible to more riders.

At the heart of it all are our horses, partners in every rider’s journey, helping build strength, confidence, independence, and connection in ways that can’t be replicated elsewhere.
