Dancing horses will raise funds for an Alzheimer’s cure during Prancing with the Stars of Dressage on Saturday, April 13, 2024 from 11:30 am to 2 p.m at Lusitano Masters, 1230 F Road, in Loxahatchee, FL.
The event, benefiting the 2024 Walk to End Alzheimer’s-Palm Beach, features a showcase of freestyle dressage to great music in a fun, family atmosphere with equestrian-themed kids games, silent auction and food options.
The equestrian discipline called dressage is the art of riding and training a horse in a manner that develops obedience, flexibility and balance.
Event organizer and Lusitano Masters owner Daniela Siberio, wanted to do a fundraiser for the Alzheimer’s Association, as her paternal grandfather had Alzheimer’s and her maternal grandmother had a form of dementia.
“Horses are my life’s passion so it was only natural for me to organize a fundraiser that showcased these majestic animals that I’m so fortunate to work alongside with every day,” said Siberio. “Horses also play a meaningful role in the lives of those with Alzheimer’s and dementia through equine assisted therapy programs.”
She added, “My hope in organizing this event is that we can unite the equestrian community and the community at large in the fight to end Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia once and for all!”
Currently, more than 6 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s and over 11 million family and friends provide their unpaid care.
Each donation makes an impact in the fight against Alzheimer’s and all other dementia.
Tickets are available through this link Prancing with the Stars of Dressage.
