Equestrians to Raise Funds for Symphony

Share

The Foxfield Equestrian Team and the Barronsgate Equestrian Vaulting Team, made up of young championship-level riders from the Conejo Valley, will put on an exhibition in Westlake on Sunday as part of the New West Symphony’s “Ascot Day at the Races” fund-raiser.

The riders, ages 6 through 19, will demonstrate unique dressage jumps, pirouettes and flying changes using only their weight and legs to guide their horses.

They will perform in team and individual categories as seen in the Olympics.

The fund-raiser, which will take place at Foxfield Riding Academy, 1240 E. Potrero Road, will begin at 11 a.m. Tickets cost $55 and include a champagne brunch.

Money raised in the event will help support the New West Symphony, which performs at the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza and the Oxnard Civic Auditorium.

The symphony helps to support the Conejo and Ventura youth orchestras.
