ORDER OF COMPETITION ANNOUNCED
Oklahoma City, OK – November 29, 2009 – Celebrities and bull riders are gearing up to let the dirt fly as they pilot champion reining horses in the 4R Performance Horses Celebrity Slide benefitting Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Oklahoma on December 4 at the Oklahoma State Fair Arena at 6 pm! The Reining Horse Sports Foundation (RHSF) brings this event to the National Reining Horse Association (NRHA) Futurity & Adequan® North American Affiliate Championship Show for the third year. The newest edition to the line up is Sgt. Danny New, a member of the Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command. RHSF is honored to have a member of the military represent the men and women who have dedicated their lives to protect our country.
“I am proud to support this fund raiser for the Make-A-Wish Foundation® because childhood is a sacred and blessed time that should be filled with fantasy and dreams. Children facing life-threatening illnesses face reality and adulthood much too soon. I admire how the foundation is brings joy and the fulfillment of dreams back into their lives allows them to regain some of their childhood,” Sgt. New commented after joining the list of celebrities.
