This party with a purpose features two mission based “auctions”–The first is the Rider Fund. Over 60% of RTT’s participants receive some level of scholarship and the Rider Fund is the number one source for our scholarship dollars.  In 2026, we expect to award $50,000+ in scholarships! The second is the Horse Fund which helps to fund the care, development and feeding of our 16 essential equine partners. With a mission based auction, we ask our guests to “bid” their support for one of both of these funds instead of bidding on items that you really don’t need or want! Every bid is a winner, providing direct support for our participants and/or horses. Bids can range from $10,000 to $25 and we encourage our guests to participate at a level that works best for them. 

 

In addition to the auction, guests will enjoy mouthwatering barbecue prepared by  Schilly's Catering, dancing to the live music of southern Maine’s premier dance band, Under The Covers, along with a bucket raffle, photo booth, boot contest and door prizes.
