The 49th edition of the Morgan Gold Cup Regional Horse Show is less then two months away! Plans are heating up for a great week including the Friday night UPHA Pink Ribbon events.

In 2007 UPHA launched the Pink Ribbon campaign in an effort to "raise much-needed funds for breast cancer research, awareness, and treatment." To date, more then 30 horse shows across the country have participated and over $100,000 has already been raised. The goal for 2009 is set for another $100,000.

Gold Cup is honored to be a part of this ground-breaking program and has designated the English Pleasure Ladies Championship as the UPHA Pink Ribbon Class. This class will kick off the Friday evening session while a progressive isle party will finish off the night in style! Last year’s class was won by Elizabeth Burick and Bad Company and raised $1000 for the important cause of breast cancer research.

Steve Davis, Mike Carpenter and Susan Kolstad are slated to judge the June 16-20, 2009 event that will be held at the Champion’s Center in Springfield, Ohio. For more information on this or other Morgan Gold Cup Regional Horse Show events please visit www.morgangoldcuphorseshow.com.
