Midwest Equestrian Fundraiser for Kevin Babington
|
Bid online November 14-17, 2019
The Midwest Equestrian Fundraiser for Kevin Babington is an event that strives to support Kevin Babington and all equestrians who have suffered spinal cord injuries. The fundraiser takes place on Thursday, November 14 through Sunday, November 17, 2019. Through the hard work and generosity of local riders and owners who have had the opportunity to benefit from Kevin's expertise and caring over the last two decades, we hope to raise funds that can be used by Kevin and others with spinal cord injuries to gain access to cutting edge care and other resources that allow them to heal and grow in their equestrian and non-equestrian pursuits.
Audit the Clinic
The Fundraiser revolves around a sold-out clinic given by Hardin Towell, of Oakland Stables in Wellington, Florida, and The Netherlands. Towell is a successful show jumping rider and trainer who has represented the U.S. at the highest level of the sport including multiple FEI events, Nations Cup teams and the Longines Global Champions Tour. Towell is taking time out of his busy schedule to support Kevin and his family by stepping into clinic dates that Kevin filled for nearly two decades in the Midwest.
