Tomorrow at 3:30 p.m. at Spiegel Farms in Campobello, everyone is invited to experience some of the best the local equine community has to offer, including an exhibition by Kathy Groves, who was so badly burned in a 1995 car accident she was given only a 6 percent chance of survival and rides at the highest level of international dressage in spite of the loss of her hands. She and Michael Todd will do a Pas de Deux to finish the show with Elvis music.

The Belmont Breeze Fundraiser will benefit The Childrens Security Blanket (CBS). This group, which will receive 100 percent of the proceeds, benefits families whose children have cancer. They provide help with financial and emotional support and connect families with much needed resources.

Before the show starts, Trayce Doubeks students will give an exhibition of cross-country jumping jumping over natural obstacles in the field.

The Green Creek Hounds will sound the opening of the show, the hounds leading the way. Tot Goodwin, huntsman, will demonstrate his expertise at handling his pack of hounds. His wife, Colleen, who has herself just had a battle with breast cancer, will explain the action.
