From May 31 to June 2, the 21st Annual All-Thoroughbred Charity Horse Show presented by New Vocations Racehorse Adoption Program will take place at Highfields Event Center in Aiken, South Carolina. This year's event's title sponsor is Heider Family Stables once more.
“We're thrilled and honoured to have Heider Family Stables as our title sponsor again this year,” stated New Vocations Thoroughbred Program Director Anna Ford. “Scott and Cindy Heider are long-time supporters of New Vocations, our show and Thoroughbred aftercare in general, and we couldn't be happier to have them present this year's show.”
One of New Vocations' biggest fundraising events of the year, the yearly charity show is also a vital means for the nonprofit to raise awareness of the Thoroughbred's adaptability in life off the track. Additionally, as Day Sponsors, the Indiana HBPA and Ohio HBPA are supporting this year's charity show.
Thoroughbred classes ranging from hunter/jumper, combined test, pleasure, in-hand, dressage, and Western and in-hand will be available during the event. The Specialty Thoroughbred Awards, which honour the accomplishments of the OTTBs over their racing careers, are a highlight of the program. There will be close to 200 OTTB contestants from the Eastern US.
“We are excited to welcome Thoroughbreds and their exhibitors back to compete and connect with others who share the same love and passion for the breed,” Ford noted. “The support we have received for this year's show has been simply amazing. So many Thoroughbred owners, breeders, trainers, industry partners and fans have become sponsors of the event, and there's still time to participate as a show sponsor.”
