June Benefit Horse Show

The June Benefit Horse Show is pleased to announce the 2015 charity beneficiaries are the EQUUS Foundation and the Bridgeport Hospital Foundation.

The EQUUS Foundation, Inc. is again the designated charity and beneficiary of the Fairfield County Hunt Club June Horse Show. Their mission is to improve the quality of life of horses, promote the use of horses to enrich the lives of people in need and educate the public about the horse’s unique ability to empower, teach and heal. As the only organization that is solely dedicated to both horse welfare and fostering the horse-human connection in the sport, recreational and therapeutic communities, the Foundation accomplishes its mission by providing financial support through the award of grants to horse-related charities across the United States; operating a network of equine organizations and equine enthusiasts; providing scholarships to award volunteer service on behalf of horses, offering insight on the management and financial practices of horse-related charities through a thorough review of their operations; and conducting information outreach to educate the public about horses.
