On Friday, June 19, Morning Dove Therapeutic Riding Center and The Heroes Club came together for a wonderful fundraising event at Hickory Hall Polo Field, 7551 E. County Road 100 North, Whitestown. The evening provided the perfect setting for friends, families, and supporters to gather for a great cause while enjoying the excitement of polo.
The weather could not have been more beautiful for a June summer evening. Guests relaxed at their tailgates, enjoyed the open-air atmosphere, and watched as the polo ponies thundered across the field. Riders showcased their skill and determination throughout the match, making for an exciting and entertaining competition.
The event drew a large crowd, with families and community members filling the grounds to enjoy the unique combination of fellowship, outdoor fun, and sporting action. Laughter and cheers could be heard throughout the evening as spectators took in the match and spent time with friends both old and new.
Following the polo match, the children had the opportunity to participate in stick pony races, adding another layer of fun and excitement to an already memorable evening. The races brought smiles to faces of all ages and were a perfect way to conclude the festivities.
A great time was had by all, and the event served as a wonderful reminder of the power of community coming together to support meaningful causes.
Thank you to everyone who attended, volunteered, sponsored, and contributed to the success of the evening. Your support helps make a difference for both Morning Dove Therapeutic Riding Center and The Heroes Club, and we are grateful for your generosity and commitment to these worthy organizations.
