To date, the show has donated over $300,000 to St. Jude, thanks to the wonderful people who support this show. The show is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization run by volunteers.
This year the Hackney Society will be joining the fun, with the addition of an Academy Hackney Pleasure Pony Under Saddle and Academy Pleasure Pony Driving class. Both classes will have a qualifier and championship class.
