Blue Star Equiculture is thrilled to have been selected the 2010 beneficiary of the Massachusetts Horse Benefit Horse Show, sponsored by Massachusetts Horse.

The Massachusetts Horse Benefit Horse Show is an open show.  Over $5000 in prizes! 10 end-of-day division champions.  8 ribbons and a prize awarded in each class. There are classes for all skill levels and all breeds. Click here to download a class list and entry form.

In addition to the show itself, there will be a silent auction.  All profits from the show will benefit Blue Star Equiculture.

Blue Star Equiculture will receive the profits from the show.  Therefore, the more entries there are, the more money that gets bid in the Silent Auction, and the more sponsors there are of classes and in the program...

...the more money goes to help homeless and retired working horses at Blue Star Equiculture.

You can help out in a variety of ways.  Finding sponsors for classes and advertisers for the program is a good way to help fill up the program with supporters of Blue Star Equiculture.  Download a copy of the Sponsor Contract to solicit sponsorships from local businesses, or sponsor a class yourself!  Sponsorships start as low as $19.  Advertisements start at $25. 

There are also vendor opportunities at the show - contact Stephanie Sanders-Ferris at steph@mahorse.com.

Put up a flyer in your riding barn and encourage all your riding friends to enter.  There's a class for everyone!

Blue Star Equiculture also needs volunteers to help out at the show.  We will need folks to man our information booth the day of the show and also to cheer on our Blue Star representatives who will be competing!  We will also need folks the day before to help set up and after the show is over to clean up.  (Don't worry!  The WMHSS prides itself on running on schedule; their motto is "When our shows don't end on time, they end early!"  If you would like to volunteer, please send us an email using the contact form below.
