L.O.P.E. Texas Benefit Horse Show
Virtual Show - 2026
In leu of the in person competition we are hosting a fun relaxed virtual competition to raise funds and awareness for Austin's own L.O.P.E. Texas racehorse rescue. A nice option to allow riders to practice and participate at their leisure during these hotter months. All proceeds going directly to help care for the rescue and war horses at LOPE.
