The Annual Horse Show, a cherished and heartwarming highlight of the year, was especially memorable this time around due to the overwhelming number of riders, sponsorship contributions, and donations pouring in daily. What better way to honor Mane Stream’s amazing riders than by enjoying a thrilling day filled with competition alongside family, friends, volunteers, staff, and our incredible horses?
On October 6th, the crisp morning air transformed into a beautiful Indian Summer day. The parking lot filled up early and remained bustling until nearly 5 PM. A generous breakfast spread, donated by Jeanne Rogalin of Midtown Direct | Keller Williams, helped kick off the day for our volunteers. The action-packed schedule was further enhanced by the Family Fun Day activity table, offering fake tattoos, pumpkin crafts, and face painting, all organized by our enthusiastic teen volunteers. Once again, we fired up the grill to provide nourishment for everyone throughout the afternoon, and BENJAMIN'S BREAD & Baked Goods added a delightful variety of baked goods made with organic flour sourced from The Farmers' Storehouse.
Once the dust settled and the generous contributions were accounted for, nearly $13,000 was raised by 41 riders and 16 sponsors! The riders who generated the most support for Mane Stream were Mary Glaser - Adult, Gemma Lawse - Youth, and Aiden Garcia - Camper. Thank you for rallying such tremendous support for your sport!
Special thanks go to our Judge, Andrea Davey, who dedicated the entire day to carefully observing each rider as they competed. In addition to ribbons awarded for each class, we also distributed 10 champion and reserve champion ribbons.
Additional gratitude is extended to our photographers: Jordan McLellan, Wolfy Nicolaides, and Brian Greenspan, who expertly captured the competitive moments and the joy shared throughout the day. Finally, the Pumpkin Patch Photo Booth, set up by Jeanne Rogalin and her son Liam, provided participants, their horses, and families with the chance to capture memorable moments together. (Stay tuned for even more photos to come!)
