Old Salem Welcomes EQUUS Foundation Family Day Activity Center hosted by Fairfield Equine on May 17-18 and the Rider’s Closet

EQUUS Foundation Corporate Partner, Fairfield Equine Associates, will be hosting the Family Day Activity Center on Saturday and Sunday, May 17-18, from 11 am to 3pm, at the Old Salem Spring Horse Show in North Salem, New York, to help raise awareness of the EQUUS Foundation mission - that America's horses enhance our lives and need our protection. The Activity Center will be located next to the Pony Ride paddock and will operate subject to the weather forecast.

"We also wish to thank Old Salem Farm for signing on as an EQUUS Foundation Horse Show Partner to promote our "From One Horse To Another" campaign, which encourages horse show competitors to voluntarily make a minimum donation of $50 to list themselves and their horses as EQUUS Foundation Equine Ambassadors," said Lynn Coakley, EQUUS Foundation President.

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.
