“This program is opening the wonderful world of horses to these men, women and their children who have sacrificed so much on our behalf,” said Sydney Knott, founder of Horses4Heroes.

In addition to the show live streaming on iEquine, Mike and his staff will be available to exhibitors for custom videos in the hunter under saddle and western pleasure rail classes.

The international event held every two years and hosted by a different country is looking for all-around, reining and cutting horses that could be donated to the event for the participating youth to ride.

If you’re heading up to the show today, be sure to attend the Wine Tasting and Hors d’oeuvres Welcome Party at 6 pm in the Super Barn. Adult libations will be provided by Earlywine and tasty treats will be served by Running Wild Catering. On Tuesday, June 3rd, stop by the Super Barn for the Progressive Dinner Party at 8 pm.
