Also on tap for 2026 is the Two Ravens Foundation Veterans Slide, showcased as part of the Honoring Freedom Night on June 24. Heroes shine in this special event, where they’ll team up with a talented mount to show off their best sliding stops for honor and prizes. Two Ravens Foundation works to empower veterans and first responders for growth and resilience through unique horsemanship opportunities, and APHA is excited to partner in that quest.
