Proceeds from the Circle City Equestrian 500
benefit local Children’s Charities and children’s equine sports initiatives:

Charities, such as The Children’s TherAplay Foundation, Inc., provide special needs children with a foundation for developing life skills through innovative therapies that utilize equine-assisted physical, occupational and speech therapies.

The Circle City Equestrian 500 also strives to give children an opportunity to enter equine sports by helping to offset the expenses of participating in competitions. Equine sports provide children with valuable life skills that benefit children’s social, cognitive and physical skills such as self-esteem, strength, balance, patience and responsibility.
