A Cause Worth Supporting

“We are thrilled to bring Divertimentos & Dressage right here in Ocala,” said committee co-chair Sally Lewis. “This benefit concert is unlike any other, as it brings together individuals who are genuinely committed to making a difference in improving the health, welfare, and productivity of working horses, donkeys, and mules worldwide.”

This event supports Brooke USA, an organization dedicated to significantly enhancing the health and welfare of working equines and the communities that rely on them. Brooke USA works to alleviate suffering and vulnerability by implementing programs that improve the quality of life for working animals and consequently uplift their economic sustainability.
