RGA's Annual Horse Show & Fun Fest Returns
Each June, riders show what a year of therapeutic horsemanship can do.
Every June, something special happens at the RGA Hanson Center in Burr Ridge. Riders with disabilities who've been building strength, confidence, and skills all year get to show what they've learned. This weekend, that moment is back!

Horses do something for people that other therapies can’t fully replicate. The rhythmic movement of riding builds core strength, balance, and flexibility. The relationship with a horse builds patience and communication skills that carry into daily life. And the confidence riders develop on horseback tends to stay with them long after they dismount.
This weekend, you'll see that in action.
The show begins in the riding arena on Saturday. Sunday includes a Vendor Village, games, snacks, and food truck service from 11 a.m. on. Pony rides run in the Round Arena from 11 a.m. to noon and again from 1 to 2 p.m., with a $10 suggested contribution supporting programs like Short-in-the-Saddle and Barn Buddies.
Want to be part of the program year-round? Volunteers are always welcome at the barn. No experience is needed. You can apply at RayGraham.org/Volunteer.
We hope to see you there.
