Can’t ever forget that 🐎

05/21/2026

At the heart of it, we’re all horse people — and we believe it’s important to give back to the community that gives so much to us. 🤍

This show, through the incredible support of our exhibitors in the training classes, we were proud to donate $350 to Horse & Buddy Therapeutic Center in New Hill, whose mission is to enrich lives through equine-assisted services that promote healing, growth, and connection.

Our show is about more than competition — we’re working to reimagine the horse show industry by creating opportunities to directly support and uplift our community. Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible. Together, we’re proving that horse shows can make an impact far beyond the arena.

We know this topic may spark some discussion, but we’d like to take a moment to clarify our helmet policy outlined in the rulebook.

For many riders and families, helmet safety is deeply personal. Having experienced firsthand how life-changing a concussion can be, we cannot overstate the importance of protecting your head while around horses. These rules are not intended to inconvenience anyone — they exist because safety remains our highest priority.

Research consistently shows that helmets can reduce the risk of serious head injuries by up to 80%, and each year more than 100,000 horse-related head injuries result in hospital visits. Your brain is invaluable, and development continues well into your 30s, making proper protection especially important for young riders.

As stated in our rulebook, helmets are required for all riders under the age of 18. We kindly ask everyone to plan accordingly and help us maintain a safe environment for all participants.

Our goal is simple: to keep everyone safe, confident, and able to enjoy showing for many years to come.

Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to seeing everyone in Pittsboro soon! 🤍
