Roscoe, IL - August 9, 2018 –The sensational Perfecta Farm Show at Ledges Sporting Horses in Roscoe, Illinois, concluded with competitors walking away with excellent prizes from not only the horse show but also from the silent auction and raffle that benefitted the Midwest Dachshund Rescue. Many generous sponsors donated fantastic items for the fundraiser which was organized by the riders of Perfecta Farm.
Perfecta Farm trainer Kim Gardiner has helped raise thousands of dollars for the charity over the past six years. Every donation to the Midwest Dachshund Rescue allows them to pay for the food, care, fostering and veterinary costs of all of their dachshunds. All donations stay in Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin, so each contribution directly impacts the local community.
Raffle and silent auction items raised funds for the Midwest Dachshund Rescue.
“We love hosting the horse show and are happy to make a difference at the end of the day,” said Gardiner about the charity. “Everyone has fun at the show and they spend time bidding on the items knowing the money goes to a good cause.”
In addition to the raffle items, horse show goers took home plenty of awards and Grand Champion prizes from the competition and special classes. Sunday’s events featured the $500 Perfecta Farm Hunter Derby, the $1,000 Chicago Equestrian Hunter Derby, the Perfecta Farm Equitation Classic and the Jumper Sweepstakes. Riders took on the huge grand prix ring for the day’s competition.
