The inaugural Saddle Pals Showcase was an incredible success!

A heartfelt thank you to all of our riders, volunteers, families, friends, and community members who joined us to celebrate this special event. With more than 100 guests in attendance, our riders had the opportunity to proudly demonstrate the skills, confidence, and accomplishments they have worked so hard to achieve throughout the year.

Watching each rider shine in the arena was a powerful reminder of what makes the Saddle Pals program so special. Your enthusiasm, encouragement, and support created an unforgettable day for everyone involved.

We extend our deepest gratitude to the SHA - Sacramento Horsemen's Association for their outstanding partnership and continued commitment to helping make this program possible. Together, we are creating meaningful opportunities and life-changing experiences for our riders.
