On Thursday, August 21st, KDHamptons readers are invited to join CTREE for a beautiful cocktail reception and silent auction to celebrate Horses Changing Lives, benefiting the Center for Therapeutic Riding of the East End at the stunning Sebonack Country Club overlooking the Peconic Bay. CTREE is a not-for-profit organization located at Wolffer Estate Stables in Sagaponack offering therapeutic horseback riding lessons and equine assisted activities available to everyone regardless of their ability to pay.

CTREE is proud to be a Premier Accredited member center of Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International (PATH). All instructors are PATH certified and are assisted by trained and dedicated program volunteers.

The event will boast one of the best silent auctions of the summer including: Hermes Americana Manhasset accessories, leather goods from Prada, Celine, golf packages at Sebonack, The Bridge, Southampton and Baiting Hollow Golf Courses, Ralph Lauren, art by Roberto Tedesco, Lynn Mara and Danielle Procaccio, Yankee Legend Tickets, American Hotel, San Ambroeus, Hampton Classic Horse Show, signed Julie Andrews Collection Books, The Ritz, Cayman Island.

“All our riders at CTREE have experienced successes. Whether it’s the ability to focus more on schoolwork, be more receptively and verbally communicative, or walk across a field on a horse because the rider’s legs can’t, CTREE’s horses and program are the catalysts for astounding achievements,” shares Karen Bocksel, Managing Director/Instructor.

McCarthy Inc, Sebonack Golf Club, Edward Burke Jr. & Associates, Sotheby’s International Realty – Hampton Office, Baiting Hollow Golf Club, Wolffer Estate Vineyards.
