LINCOLN, Nebraska, Dec. 28, 2015–The auction of a shoe from Valegro at the Las Vegas World Cup Final raised $4,000 to benefit The Dressage Foundation’s Karen Skvarla Fund to support young dressage professionals.
The top bidder received Valegro’s shoe from the 2015 Las Vegas World Cup Final, a photo of the 13-year-old KWPN gelding autographed by rider Charlotte Dujardin and a Certificate of Authenticity from Carl Hester in a framed set.
The Karen Skvarla Fund for Young Dressage Professionals was created in 2014 by Diane Skvarla in memory of her sister, Karen, a budding equestrian when she passed away in 1968 at the age of nine years. The fund provides grants to young dressage professionals to pursue training or educational opportunities.
