Shannon Smith scores perfect 10, wins "Dancing for the Horses"

10News Reporter Shannon Smith competed on behalf of WBIR and Horse Haven of Tennessee in this year's Dancing for the Horses.

Horse Haven of Tennessee's biggest fundraiser, Dancing for the Horses, is back this year, featuring WBIR's newest reporter as a celebrity dancer.

Shannon Smith is learning how to cha-cha and raising money for horses in need as part of the event. On Saturday, she scored a perfect 10, winning in the benefit!

Horse Haven of Tennessee is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and re-homing of neglected or abused horses through shelter, adoption, education, and assistance.

Shannon is dancing for a horse named Pi, who came to Horse Haven starving and neglected.

Her fundraising goal for Pi is $5,000. So far, she was able to raise $1,250.
