CONCORD, N.C. (QC Life) - There’s a place in Concord where like-minded lovers of horses gather. It is called Leatherman Lane Farm and is the passion project of one woman.
The farm is a private boarding and training facility, but once a year it is opened to the public for a very good cause.
“Horse Lovers Day” as it called, features shopping, eating, drinking, music and of course, an opportunity to ride a horse.
Every dollar made from the event goes to Go Jen Go, which helps local women facing breast cancer pay their household bills. There will also be a mobile ultrasound van on-site for screening.
The first year the event was held, the farm raised $1,000. The second, it raised about $6,500. This year, organizers hope to raise $15,000.
This year’s Horse Lovers Day will happen on Oct. 7. Those wishing to help with the cause can do so in part by bidding on items up for auction here.
