Taking a break from the heated competition during the
Kentucky
Horse Show
in June, grand prix rider
Juan Oritz
and his girlfriend
Sara Bagworth
decided to do something outside the show ring
to help raise awareness for the
Step by Step Foundation
. They
joined forces with charity founder
Lilane Stransky
to host the first
Singing for Step by Step Karaoke Fundraiser
under the Great
Tent at the horse show. Grabbing the mikes, Juan and Sara belted
out the tune “Billionaires” while duets were performed by Liliane
and
Perla Capriles
who put in a rousing version of “I Will Survive.”
Javier Guerra
and
David Blake
hit just the right notes singing
“Sweet Caroline.” It was all or nothing for
Andrea King, Blaith
Murano, Ivan Rocowsky
and
Angel
and
Alejandro Karolyi
who
held nothing back for their version of “My Way!” Donations from
both the audience and the singers were secured throughout the
night for the international children’s charity.
Rancho Corazon,
in New Mexico, is pleased to welcome a new

about the Ranch’s breeding program. Rancho Corazon is pleased
to be able to offer a year round internship program.
The show must go on! Despite torrential rain, all exhibitors were
able to compete in week one of the
Skidmore College Saratoga
Classic Horse Show
