Therapeutic Horses of Saratoga will host its second annual Charity Benefit Concert, featuring The Bacon Brothers, on Oct. 5.
The event will take place from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM at the Therapeutic Horses of Saratoga farm, located at 683 Lake Ave, Saratoga Springs, NY.
In addition to The Bacon Brothers, the sold-out event will also feature two local favorites, Rich Ortiz and The Wallies Band featuring Gianna Robustiano, who will open the show. Attendees will enjoy the performance under the stars in a unique farm setting, complemented by a selection of food and drink available for purchase from local vendors, including Fierro's Pizza Food Truck, Old Tavern Farm Winery, Druthers Brewing Company, DeCrescente Distributing Company, and Broadway Coffee Co.
Proceeds from the concert will support Therapeutic Horses of Saratoga's mission to care for retired racehorses who provide life-changing equine-assisted therapies to individuals in the community. These programs benefit a diverse group of participants, including individuals undergoing therapy, Service Members and veterans, children, families, and couples.
“Our farm is a sanctuary for both the horses who live here and the people who find healing within our gates,” said Dr. Erin Christopher Sisk, Co-Founder of Therapeutic Horses of Saratoga. “This event is crucial in supporting our efforts to sustain the care of these incredible horses and continue offering these much-needed mental health programs.”
The Charity Benefit Concert will also present a silent auction curated to celebrate the Saratoga community with an array of locally-sourced artistic, health, wellness and outdoor experiences. Among the highlights are two original art pieces created by internationally renowned, locally based artists, Janet Crawford and Frankie Flores.
Shareable experiences also include a bundle of membership and art classes by Saratoga Arts and a children's art class taught local street artist, Dave Pappas; a sailing experience offered by the Saratoga Sailing School; a pickleball lesson & play package offered by Legacy Pickleball Club; two ticket packages provided by Caffe Lena and Universal Preservation Hall; a whisky tasting experience provided by First Fill Spirits; a private photographic portrait session with a beloved pet by Tina Marie DeVincenzo; a family tour of Dakota Ridge llama farm; a polo playing lesson and Argentine asado offered by the Saratoga Polo School; and spa services from Sacred Spa + Wellness.
Thoroughbred racing historians Brien Bouyea and Michael Veitch will be on hand to sign copies of their book, The Travers: Saratoga's Midsummer Derby, 1864 – 2023. A portion of the proceeds of each book sold will benefit Therapeutic Horses of Saratoga.
