🐴🤝 In the Horse Capital of the World, one night brings it all together.

Riders, trainers, grooms and their horses 🐎 step outside the regular show circuit, side by side with the local businesses that sponsor every jump. 🏢 Add families in the stands and nonprofits cheering ringside, and you've got the Children's Charity Classic. 💛

To the horse community and the businesses that make it possible: thank you for showing up for Marion County's kids. 🙌

🏇 Pros. Amateurs. Juniors. All in the same ring for the same reason: Marion County's kids. 💛

Many of our riders donate their winnings right back to the nonprofit they rode for. That's the heart of the Children's Charity Classic. 🙌

Thank you to every rider who saddles up for a cause.

💙 This is why we ride.

Last year, Team Battleship took first place for Kimberly's Center for Child Protection, and this was the moment it all sank in. 🥹

A huge thank-you to E-ONE, the sponsor matched with Kimberly's Center, for standing behind this team and the children it serves. 🚒 We're so grateful for partners who show up for Marion County's kids. 🙏

Moments like this are what the Children's Charity Classic is all about. Year three is coming. 🐎

Full house, full hearts! 🏠❤️

Thank you to every organization that joined us last Friday for our Children's Charity Classic video submission workshop. You packed the room, brought great questions, and left ready to tell your story on camera. 🎥 Sharing this moment with the people who serve Marion County's kids every single day was a highlight for our whole team. 🙌

And that's exactly what the Children's Charity Classic is all about: lifting up the local nonprofits that change children's lives. 🐴✨ Each year, show-jumping teams are paired with children's organizations from our community and ride on their behalf, turning every clear round into real support for kids right here at home. It's horse country at its best, a free, family-friendly night where Ocala's love of horses meets its love for its children. 💙

Year three is coming Friday, February 26, 2027 at HITS Post Time Farm, and we couldn't be more excited! 📅🏆

Now we can't wait to watch your video submissions. 🎬 Once the winning organizations are selected, we'll be rolling out a surprise caravan to deliver the news in person. 🚗🎉 You won't want to miss it, so stay tuned! 👀

Our Second Annual Children's Charity Classic was a night to remember🙌💙✨

Under the lights at HITS Post Time Farm, our community gathered in support of the children and families of Marion County. The energy in the arena was inspiring, and the generosity displayed will create meaningful impact in the months ahead.

Together with riders, sponsors, and changemakers, we invested $100,000 directly into 10 local charities dedicated to helping children thrive right here in Marion County. What began as a vision for extraordinary change became a powerful reality as our community rallied around this shared mission.

To every rider, sponsor, volunteer, and supporter who filled the stands — thank you. Your generosity ensures that this work continues long after the final round.

We are deeply grateful — and already looking ahead to what we will accomplish together next year.🤝🏇
