Saratoga Springs Signs on as Best Performance Competition Partner
WESTPORT, CT - April 1, 2014 - Top notch equestrian competition and philanthropy are at the heart of the Saratoga Springs Horse Show which has been continuously operating since 1960. In the past two years, the show has donated over $80,000 to Saratoga County not for profit organizations. This year, the show will also be webcasting all rings and hosting a telethon for the local charities along with the competition.
This year, the two-week show has also signed on as a Best Performance Competition partner to support horse welfare.
The Best Performance Competition is the joint program of the EQUUS Foundation and the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) that gives horse shows and their exhibitors the opportunity to support horse welfare by doing what they do best - competing!
