Not just horsin’ around for benefit horse show
posted October 30th, 2008For more than two decades, riders have gripped the reins, leaned in and jumped for the children.
During Nov. 4-9, the Duke Children’s Benefit Horse Show will celebrate its 25th year.
The Duke Children’s Benefit Horse Show is one of the premier hunter/jumper events in the Southeast and has raised more than $1.2 million for Duke Children’s Hospital & Health Center in its history.
The show features six days of competition by horses and their riders from the U.S. and Canada and offers a behind the scenes look at how horses are cared for, trained and shown. Children can see the horses in their stalls on the complex grounds.
The show also features equestrian collectibles and unique gifts from around the country as well as a silent auction.
