Not Horsing Around

Robb Report, the world’s leading authority on luxury lifestyle, and the EQUUS Foundation, America’s foremost equine welfare organization, are joining together to host the first Horsepower Gala, a special fundraising dinner benefiting the EQUUS Foundation.

Created to increase awareness of horse abuse, neglect and slaughter, the invitation-only event will honor champions of equine protection Frank McCourt, Georgina Bloomberg and Jessica Springsteen.

The Horsepower Gala will take place on Dec. 8 at the Boca Raton Resort & Club, co-chaired by prominent equine advocates Mary-Kate Olsen, Monica McCourt, Kristy Hinze-Clarke, Kelly Klein, Katherine Bellissimo, Gerry Byrne and Sophie Stenbeck.

Noted philanthropist and horse enthusiast McCourt will be the guest of honor at the Horsepower Gala, which celebrates those committed to safeguarding the comfort and dignity of America’s horses.

“With his Global Champions League, Frank McCourt has amplified awareness of show jumping to an international audience,” says Lynn Coakley, president, EQUUS Foundation. “His selfless love, care and admiration for horses – both in sport and in retirement – is inspiring. We are thrilled to honor Frank at the inaugural Horsepower Gala.”

The evening will also recognize decorated equestrians Bloomberg and Springsteen for their tireless work on behalf of the EQUUS Foundation and the protection of America’s horses throughout their lives. The duo, both world-class show-jumping riders, has supported the foundation since its earliest days, motivating fellow equestrians and horse advocates to become active horse protectors. O
