Event Details

2025 Ride For The Cure was the biggest yet with 29 entries resulting in a $870 donation to Hilltop Heros and Horses. Won by Heather Graft showing Miss Vested Lazy

Special Class: Ride for the Cure

Generously sponsored by Kim Brewster & Carrie Morrison. Each competitor chooses a charity in which they ride for and also have the option of choosing a person to honor during their ride. Dusty Boots Riding Club then donates the proceeds of the class to the charity the winner has chosen to ride for. 

Each year since 2012 Northeastern Ohio Horseman’s Association has hosted a Ride for the Cure class that was founded by the late Deb Koffel.  

Each competitor chooses a charity in which they ride for and has an option of choosing a person to honor during their ride. Dusty Boots Riding Club then donates the proceeds of the class to the charity the winner has chosen to represent. 

In recent years, Kim Brewster and Carrie Morrison have dedicated many hours to collect donations of prizes to award every single competitor in the ring thus growing the number of entries and the size of the donation the club is able to award. 

This tradition has brought many tears and so much joy to our horse community throughout the years. 

We look forward to continuing this tradition for years to come!
