"He‘d come back and say, ‘Yeah, I did therapy today. I was able to move my pinky finger! It‘s such a little thing, but for him and for us it was huge," she said. For the upcoming show, which is open free of charge to members of public who wish to learn about the sport and cheer on the riders, the gates open at 4 p.m. Approximately 30 riders take part in the event, which will raise money through entry fees, VIP tables, a silent auction and 50 per cant of the Calcutta â€" an auctioned jumpâ€"off where ridâ€" ers will each take a jump or two and the audiâ€" ence can place bids on which horse will win.

The coâ€"ordinator explained that the show is an elegant event where people can come dressed up and enjoy good, clean fun.
