Aiken Charity Horse Show

The Aiken Charity Horse Shows remain a highlight of the Aiken Horse Park Foundation's yearly calendar. Since their inception we have made every effort to honor Bruce’s legacy by remaining true to his original vision of producing a traditional horse show with hospitality for all. It was also very important to him that the show schedule was such that the day ended at a reasonable hour each afternoon so exhibitors could enjoy the town of Aiken.

We are equally gratified to know that the success of our shows these last few years have translated into $110,000 distributed to a variety of local and national charities representative of Bruce’s pledge to increase public awareness of and support for the prevention and elimination of the abuse of children, elderly and abused persons and for the prevention of cruelty to animals.

The success of our event and its beneficiaries truly depends on the generosity of friends, exhibitors and corporate sponsors and the only way a boutique exhibitor friendly horse show such as this can work and stay true to Bruce’s vision is through that support.

Dear Friends,

It is with deep regret that we announce the canceling of this year’s Aiken Charity Horse Shows. We understand the enormous impact this decision has on not just the equestrian community, but also on our own local economy. Please know we did not make this decision lightly but truly believe that it is in the best interest of our exhibitors, sponsors, and staff.

We had originally planned to make a decision in a few more weeks but with today's announcement by the USEF extending the suspension of all USEF licensed competitions through May 3rd, we have been given no choice but to decide today. We are in uncertain times and the duration of this unprecedented pandemic is unpredictable. The health and welfare of our loved ones, children, and elderly are at the forefront of our thoughts and ultimately helped us to make the decision to cancel our 2020 shows.

We appreciate your continued support and understanding, stay healthy, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back to Bruce’s Field before too long.
