Anthony, Florida (April 23, 2015) – Arredondo Dressage is preparing for its sixth annual Horses Helping Horses Benefit, an event profiting the Horse Protection Association of Florida (HPAF). The benefit will be held on Sunday, May 17 at Charlotte and Chris Trentleman’s Rebel Ridge Farm in Anthony, Florida. The unique event is perfect for dressage and eventing equestrians of all levels – complete with a benefit clinic, a tack sale, and a silent auction.

The Horse Protection Association of Florida, a 501c3 non-profit organization, rests on 150 beautiful green acres in Marion County, Florida. The rescue and rehabilitation facility practices Parelli Natural Horsemanship to develop and restore horses both physically and mentally, while providing them with the best care possible. Neglected horses leave the Horse Protection Association of Florida full of health, happiness, and the ability to form working relationships with their new human partners.

Top dressage and eventing professionals in the region have donated their time to the benefit clinic. Clinicians giving instruction on May 17 are Greta Wrigley, Amber Kimball, Yet Borst, Deb Adams, Kristen Petzold, Vickie Rollack, and Linda Roberts. Aspiring participants can go online now to bid on a lesson with one of these talented instructors.

Auditors are welcome to attend, free of charge. Attendees will also have a chance to shop at the huge used tack sale that is held in conjunction with the benefit clinic. For a $10 donation to the Horse Protection Association of Florida, sales space is available for those wishing to sell some of their used equipment.

A large collection of riding lessons, goods, and services are available as part of the silent auction benefitting the Horse Protection Association of Florida. Bidders could win a chiropractic adjustment for their horses or a massage session for themselves. Lessons have been generously donated by elite professionals such as Kassie Barteau, Bill Woods, John Zopatti, Gary Yeager, and Shelley Van den Neste, amongst others.

Many leading companies in the equine industry have made donations to the silent auction, including Custom Saddlery, the Official Saddle of the United States Dressage Team; Omega Alpha Pharmaceuticals, Inc., makers of top-quality natural equine supplements; and the Equine News Room, the website that allows users a fast, easy way to get their amazing horses and show ring successes in the news.

Arredondo Dressage, a Group Member Organization of the United States Dressage Federation based out of the Gainesville, Florida area, is excited to once again host Horse Helping Horses. The organization has worked to serve dressage enthusiasts in Florida since 1975 through events such as this benefit, dressage shows, and educational opportunities.
