Some of the world’s leading equestrian competitors, trainers, owners and supporters will join together for the Texas Hold ‘Em Poker Tournament and Charity Benefit that will be held in the corporate hospitality tent alongside the main arena from 6:30 p.m. to midnight. Auction item, tickets and further information are available at www.stepbystepfoundation.com.

“This event is a wonderful way to bring the equestrian community together for a very important cause—and to have a lot of fun at the same time,” said Engle. “I’ll be bringing my equestrian colleagues to the tables for some competition outside the arena!”

Originally, funds were scheduled to support completing construction on the Tipa Tipa  elementary school in Lahaie, Haiti. In light of the earthquake that has wreaked disaster upon Haiti, funds will also go towards relief and other rebuilding efforts.
