Ride With Pride’s Kentucky Derby Open Horse Show

Ride With Pride will be sponsoring the Kentucky Derby  Open Horse Show  May 5th at Cedar Creek Stables. Classes will include jumping, flat, and games. $5 per class. Special prizes for the Kentucky Derby classes.

Classes start at 9 a.m. Concession stand will be available. Raffle items  and prize for the best Derby hat. Come out and enjoy the fun.

Ride With Pride is celebrating over 20 years serving children and adults with special needs through a therapeutic horsemanship riding program. For the physically challenged, riding provides the gentle motion, rotations, and balance they cannot perform themselves. This gives the rider a sense of body control, strength, and flexibility.  For the emotionally and learning challenged child or adult the programs offer opportunities for providing daily care of the horses which fosters responsibility, self-esteem, and trust.

For more information on Ride With Pride and how you can volunteer, donate, or more information  on the show please call Debbie Winters at 540-255-2210.
