Welcome to the 31st Annual I would like to welcome all of you to the 2009 St. Louis National Charity Horse Show. Thirty one years of tradition has made this a memorable and enduring equestrian event in the St. Louis area as we continue to feature and highlight a variety of national equestrian finals, including world champion competitors and horses. We are thrilled to welcome back and host the prestigious ASPCA Maclay Regional Finals as well as a $25,000 Grand Prix during the Hunter – Jumper Show. During Saddlebred week there are many other exciting activities including the Saddle & Bridle Pleasure Medallion Finals, the Shatner Western Finals, the America’s Cup Championship for Adult Equitation and a Grand National Show Pleasure Driving Championship. Additionally, we are hosting a Saddlebred Dressage Competition on Thursday afternoon. Your continued and wonderful support of the St. Louis National Charity Horse Show will once again benefit the Humane Society of Missouri’s Longmeadow Rescue Ranch, an organization that specializes in rescuing and rehabilitating large animals, with an emphasis on horses. Longmeadow is a great fit for us as it is one of only a few facilities in the country equipped to house and nurse back to health large numbers of starving and abused horses. After the horses and other animals are rehabilitated, Longmeadow works to place them in loving homes. There will even be a “Parade of Animals” during the horse show! If you haven’t already done so, please consider making a donation to our charity. Any amount is welcome and appreciated. I know that the safe haven that Longmeadow provides our less fortunate equine friends touches everyone in the horse community. Once again, thank you for supporting our show and enjoy your time at the “Charity”. Sincerely, |
