Saddle Up 4 Good was founded by urban cowboys living out their beliefs, while impacting the lives of others from the back of a horse. Through shows, demonstrations and fundraising journeys, Saddle Up brings a unique style of role models to teach and bridge gaps in youth principles, family values and individual self esteem.  Saddle Up For Good USA Inspirational Rodeo is considered to be the first Black-owned sanctioned professional rodeo in the nation.
