The Portia Foundation was started because of a pretty little Baroque Pinto Mare that unexpectedly became very sick, very quickly. Tia was at Tufts University for 33 days. Tia did make it home but then had to be humanly euthanized 3 weeks later. With the help Of so many friends and family, Jamie did raise $30k+ to help pay for the medical bills that were piling up quickly. At the end of everything, Jamie’s and Tias medical bills were $50,000+.
Jamie came up with the foundation to try to help aid other horseman in emergency situations. The Foundation pleasure classes was one of the ways that was thought of to help raise money for disaster relief.
A HUGE congratulations goes out to this rider below who won The Portia Foundation Pleasure Class at the 8th Annual David Kuhbander Memorial Royal K horse show in Beavercreek, Ohio!
Thank you to everyone who participated in this class! It means THE world to me! 💜💜
