On Saturday, March 8, JustWorld’s signature Horseless Horse Show will be held to benefit the children of JustWorld’s projects in Cambodia, Honduras, Senegal, Brazil, and Kenya. At approximately 4 p.m., immediately following the last class of the day, the DeNemethy Ring will be converted to a show jumping ring for human competitors, with people-sized jumps generously provided and custom built by Steve Stephens, Hector Cano, and Beval Saddlery Ltd. Various classes will be offered, generously sponsored by supporters including BluHammock/BluHorse, SpyCoast Farm, and Dutta Corporation. CBS-12 News will be on-site to shoot footage for the upcoming JustWorld International ‘Youth Helping Youth’ feature story.
