The Saddle Up for Roswell fundraiser will take place on September 13 at the Chestnut Ridge Equestrian Center in Gasport, supporting the Roswell Park Cancer Institute. The event features an equestrian competition known as “eventing,” where riders participate in three challenging segments: show jumping, dressage, and cross-country jumping across fields. This event combines skill, endurance, and precision, showcasing the talents of both horses and riders.

Sue Williams, owner of the equestrian center, highlights the complexity and excitement of the competition, which aims to raise funds for cancer research and patient care at Roswell Park. The fundraiser not only promotes equestrian sports but also brings the community together to support a vital cause, emphasizing the importance of charitable events in advancing cancer treatment and research.
