EQUUS Foundation Partners with Horse Shows to Inspire Advocacy for Horse Welfare
The EQUUS Foundation is thrilled to partner with horse shows nationwide to help inspire advocacy for horse welfare by promoting the EQUUS Foundation " From One Horse To Another" campaign and encouraging horse lovers to lend their name as #HorseProtectors.
Old Salem Kicked off EQUUS Foundation's 2025 Horse Show Partnerships at its Spring Horse Show in May
Spring just wouldn't be the same without the annual participation of the EQUUS Foundation at the beautiful Old Salem Spring Horse Show in North Salem, New York and the opportunity to meet horse-loving visitors and inspire them to become horse protectors!

This year, the Foundation provided crafts and activities sponsored by Fairfield Equine Associates on Saturday and Sunday, May 17-18. The Rider's Closet Donation Trunk was also on hand throughout the two-week show to accept donations of new and lightly used riding attire. 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!
Family Day visitors enjoyed free, delicious, customized cookies thanks to long-standing EQUUS Foundation Corporate Partner, Fairfield Equine Associates.
Family Day visitors had the opportunity to make friendship bracelets, decorate horseshoes and create clay models of their favorite 4-legged friends.
