by Karyn Zoldan on Mar. 08, 2013, under Animal Events, Horses, Hoofs, Goats, Pigs, Farm Animals9th Annual Equine Voices Annual Fundraiser – Saturday March 30 – 11:30 am to 3:30 pm at Brandi Fenton Park, 3482 E. River Road
This event is not just for horse people. I try to go every year and it’s informative, you can pet horses which every time I do so — is magical. There is something for everyone.
If you remember the touching Clydesdale ad from the Super Bowl, a similar Clydesdale — Gulliver (a mix)– is the Equine Voices mascot; here’s his story.
You can:
- Meet special rescue horses & hear their stories
- Enjoy a live concert by the fabulous Amber Norgaard Band
- Watch training demos with rescued horses and Carol Grubb
- Watch equine acupuncture demos by Michael Hutchison DVM
- Eat food by Quesadillas and More and Stolen Recipe BBQ
- Bid on silent auction items
- Bid on live dessert auction (this is entertaining; desserts go for hundreds of dollars!)
- Take a chance to win raffles with cool prizes
–Special VIP Guest KGUN9-anchor Jennifer Waddell
–Special Guests: Animal Cruelty Task Force, the Arizona Coalition for Equine, and Southern Arizona Greyhound Adoption

Please share this blog post with your family, friends, neighbors and co-workers. It’s a fun day for all.
