Edited Press Release
National School Horse Day has been founded by Grand Prix Equine to honor horses in riding programs whose purpose is to develop and perfect a rider’s skill set. These special animals have the kindest hearts and take excellent care of their riders under the expertise of a trainer. School horses are the foundation of all riding programs and without them, the industry would suffer greatly.
With the goal of lending financial support to 10 notable school horses or ponies, Grand Prix Equine is seeking nominations from you to make the best choice. They will provide $300 for each horse as a small token of their appreciation for these noble steeds.
