The 2018 March To The Arch charity horse show kicked off in St. Louis, Missouri to much fanfare last Wednesday as AQHA exhibitors, trainers, judges, and vendors all gathered in an effort to raise as much money as possible for cancer research. In years past, the event has racked up a whopping total of over $650,000, most of which has been donated to the local St. Louis Children’s Hospital. Stay tuned in the coming weeks to find out how much was raised at the 2018 event…
