Seneca Valley Pony Club H.T. Will Be Donating Portion Of Proceeds To Lillian Heard
The Seneca Valley Pony Club (June 18-19) will be donating a portion of the proceeds from their Spring Horse Trials to Lillian Heard's American Horse Trials Foundation account. Lillian is a B graduate of Seneca Valley Pony Club and her mom, Jaqueline, was one of the driving forces behind the horse trials for many years.
Lillian lost her mare, Ariel, in the fire at Boyd Martin's barn at True Prospect Farm. You can read more about her experience on her blog.
"We are all very proud of Lill's actions on that horrible night," said Seneca Valley Pony Club District Commissioner, Nancy Jones." "While the donations will not ease her emotional loss, we are hopeful that we can at least help in her efforts to rebuild. In addition, three of our current members are working this summer at True Prospect, so we feel like there is a small part of Seneca transplanted to Pennsylvania, and we will have donation stations set up at our event for the more general True Prospect Farm fire relief funds for public participation."
The Seneca Valley Pony Club Horse Trials will be accepting late entries through June 7th.
