Now in its fifth year, Giant Steps Charity Classic showcases top equestrians from up-and-coming junior riders to some of our nation’s best. The prize money has increased to over $140,000, and each evening boasts a featured competition and event, all of which benefit the programs at Giant Steps Therapeutic Equestrian Center. The two title events of the weekend are the Six Bar and Gala presented by Gucci on Saturday evening and the $40,000 Shaklee Grand Prix on Sunday afternoon.
