Prior to the Grand Prix, a special lunch banquet will be held at the venue, the proceeds of which will be donated to the Equus Foundation, a network of charities focused on closing the gap for America’s horses currently at risk, and those potentially at risk when their competitive careers are over by funding programs focused on the rescue, rehab, adoption of America’s horses in need.
