Islandia, New York—On Saturday, October 6, 2012 the 5^th Annual Foundation GROW Horse Show took place at Pal-O-Mine Equestrian in Islandia, New York. Foundation GROW of Shelter Island, New York provides young riders opportunities to take part in equine programs through scholarships and sponsored events with therapeutic riding organizations. The Foundation GROW Horse Show showcased riders with disabilities while raising funds for Pal-O-Mine Equestrian.

More than 40 riders competed in equitation, dressage and futures classes. Foundation GROW Co-Founder, Ellen Lear, assisted the young equestrians as they were judged on their ability to steer and to get their horses to walk, trot or canter depending on the class they were competing in. Helen Freund and Cliff Schadt judged the competitions. Helen Freund has taught riding to individuals with disabilities for many years and currently is a successful dressage rider. Cliff Schadt’s diverse experience with jumpers, polo ponies, race horses, western pleasure, reining, cutting, working ranch and rodeo horses allows him to cater to all disciplines of horses and horsemen.

The horse show allowed riders with limited mobility on the ground to exhibit their skills on horseback. The benefit showcased how participants normally inhibited by obstacles are able to overcome physical barriers and move freely with the help of horses. Pal-O-Mine and Foundation GROW are thankful to the volunteers, judges, vendors, sponsors and everyone involved for helping to make this a spectacular show experience and a winning outcome for all.
