The San Antonio Saddle Horse Association (SASHA) will host its annual Charity Horse Show on Friday, March 6, though Sunday, March 8, 2009, at the San Antonio Rose Palace in San Antonio, TX, to benefit their local, non-profit Visitation House of San Antonio.

The Visitation House is a transitional housing program for homeless women and their children. The mission of the Visitation House Transitional Housing Program is to assist women in ending the cycle of poverty and homelessness in their lives and in the lives of their children.

SASHA will once again offer the special leadline class for the children of Visitation House. This class, held on Saturday afternoon, offers the children an opportunity to ride horses, generously donated by the competing stables in the Rose Palace ring. This event has proven to be fun for not only the Visitation House visitors—mothers, kids and Visitation House staff—but has been a crowd pleaser with the horse people, too.

The competing stables make the class possible by donating their lesson or Academy horses for the children, and local businesses and stables give full support by sponsoring the children.

For more information call (210) 884-5567 or visit www.sashatx.org. To sponsor a child for the Special Leadline Class on Saturday afternoon at the horse show, contact Sandra Arguello at [email protected].
