The Little Britches Annual Virtual Auction, held online from October 24 to November 4, offers a variety of items and experiences to jump-start holiday shopping while supporting a meaningful cause. Proceeds benefit Little Britches Therapeutic Riding, a Roxbury-based nonprofit that has been providing therapeutic horseback riding and equine-assisted activities for 46 years to over 100 riders with cognitive and physical disabilities across northwestern Connecticut. The auction features travel getaways, local art, gift baskets, personal care vouchers, and more, with all funds helping to keep rider fees affordable and maintain the horses.

Little Britches operates sessions at Tophet Farm in Roxbury and Shepaug Agriscience Academy, serving riders who often gain independence through horseback riding. The organization relies heavily on donations and volunteers, especially for its extended fall session starting November 3, 2025.
