Small Equines a Big Hit during Small World Showcase at USET Holiday Gala Fundraiser

One of the small equines in the small world showcase at The USEF Holiday Gala, held at the Jim Brandon Equestrian Center in West Palm Beach, Florida.

West Palm Beach, FL (January 6, 2010) – A group of little equines put on a big show at the SUCCEED USET Holiday Gala Fundraiser in Wellington recently, treating spectators to a Small World Showcase featuring American Shetland Ponies and American Miniature Horses. The Holiday Gala, held at the Jim Brandon Equestrian Center in West Palm Beach, Florida, starred some of the biggest names in the equestrian world, offered fun demonstrations, team competitions, holiday surprises and silent and live auctions that raised money for the USET Foundation.

The Small World Showcase wowed the crowd with an array of Miniature Horses driving carriages, including United States National Four-In-Hand Combined Driving Champion Chester Weber who drove Santa Clause into the ring in a sleigh pulled by four perfectly matched miniature reindeer. The reindeer were actually Miniature Horses owned by Linda Kern of Caribbean Dreams Miniature Horses in Loxahatchee, Florida, and Santa Claus was none other than USEF President David O’Connor.

“The crowd was thrilled when Chester drove David O’Connor into the ring. Chester is always so supportive if the USET and it was great that he took time out of his busy schedule to attend the event. The Miniature Horses and Shetland Ponies that took part in the gala were the talk of the town, it was a great event,” said Johnny Robb, Director of Marketing for the American Shetland Pony Club and American Miniature Horse Registry (ASPC/AMHR).
