Freestyle 2007 for the Benefit of The Bear Spot Foundation for Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy was held on Sunday, October 7, 2007. Read about this amazing day on the Bear Spot Foundation website's Freestyle 2007 page!

Bear Spot Foundation was proud to welcome competitors and spectators to this fabulous afternoon of top-level musical freestyles. Following in the footsteps of Freestyle 2006 and 2007, 2008's event promises to be even bigger and more exciting.

FEI competitors of both national and international recognition donated their time and talent to our Freestyle 2007 fundraiser. Many of these same riders will again entertain us, and new faces will be seen as we expand our program.
