Old Salem Farm Spring Horse Shows Signs on as Horse Show Partner and Welcomes The Rider's Closet!
The Old Salem Farm Spring Horse Shows, May 6-11, 2025, and May 13-18, 2025, is the first horse show this season to help promote the EQUUS Foundation's " From One Horse To Another" campaign. More announcements to follow. The campaign encourages horse show competitors to voluntarily make a minimum donation of $50 to list themselves and their horses as EQUUS Foundation Equine Ambassadors.
Thousands of horses each year become at risk for neglect, abuse, and the slaughter pipeline simply because they fall through the cracks when transitioning from one owner or one job to another. What is unique about the program is that the competitor can specifically support an equine representing one of our participating equine charities.
The Old Salem Farm Spring Horse Shows is also helping to make the opportunity for more people to experience the special bond between horses and people by hosting The Rider's Closet Donation Trunk to accept donations of new and lightly used riding attire throughout the two-week horse show.
The Rider's Closet provides riding apparel to individual riders in need, scholastic riding programs, pony clubs, equestrian camp programs and equine charities. Founded in 2006 by Georgina Bloomberg, The Rider's Closet merged with the EQUUS Foundation in 2019. All donations are 100% tax-deductible! Your support helps make working with horses more inclusive and accessible.
How Do I Donate?
To drop off your donation during the Old Salem Farm Spring Shows, visit The Rider's Closet tent located across from the show office and leave your items in the tack trunk. Please note the program cannot accept donations of helmets, protective vests or horse apparel. Please visit
