The HorsePlay benefit concert, scheduled for June 13 at The Barn at Fawn Hollow in Quitman, is an adult-only fundraiser aiming to raise $30,000 to support a local nonprofit that provides therapy for children with disabilities through horseback riding. Founded in 2018, the program uses hippotherapy, which leverages the brain-body connection to enhance sensory and motor functions far beyond traditional therapy methods. The event promises a fun-filled evening with live music from local artist Townsend and headliner Brendan James, food, drinks, a silent auction, and opportunities to meet therapy horses.

Organizers emphasize that HorsePlay offers a unique and impactful experience, including a sensory processing disorder simulation to help attendees understand the challenges faced by children with neurological differences. Those unable to attend can still contribute through online donations, ticket gifting, in-kind donations, or volunteering. Families seeking therapy services can find more information online by searching “horseplay hippotherapy” or visiting the organization’s website.
