Kentucky Horse Park holiday show seeking to sell 1,001

tickets for charity

The producers of a new holiday show in central Kentucky,

"The Spirit of the Horse: A Holiday Equine Extravaganza," are staging a

charitable "ticket-raiser" to enable individuals from across the country to

purchase tickets that will be distributed to the less fortunate in Lexington,

Louisville and surrounding areas for its two productions on November 29-30 at the Alltech Arena at the Kentucky Horse Park.

An original equine entertainment production, "The Spirit of

the Horse" is produced and performed by the KYB-GPE Equine Theater Production

Company from Maple Park, Illinois. The company will enlist the support of charitable

organizations to target 1,001 recipients of the tickets across Kentucky.

The "Spirit of the Horse" is a magical, heartfelt fairytale

filled with meaningful examples of generosity, gratitude and kindness -- a

powerful message as we enter the holiday season. In keeping with that spirit,

the production company has already contributed $500 toward the 1,001

"ticket-raiser."

"It is our strong belief that 'The Spirit of the Horse'

represents a spirit of joy," said Yvonne Barteau, the author of the script. "We

would like to see that joy spread among families and children who might not

otherwise have the means to see the show. We hope that people across the country

will help change that and make a difference for 1001 or more people this holiday

season."

To participate in the "ticket-raiser" guests can go to

kybdressage.com/tickets, also accessible from

kyhorsepark.com, and enter the code JOY2013 in the special code section

when purchasing tickets.

In addition to the show, guests may purchase tickets for a

"meet and greet" with the stars of the production at the holiday Barn Tour prior

to the show each evening, and tickets are also available for the Post Production

Party where guests can enjoy food and drink and, again, mingle with the horse

and rider performers.

The show will be presented at 7 p.m. (EST) on November

29-30, with the Barn Tour available from 3:30-6:30 p.m. each evening, and

the Post Production Party taking place immediately after each performance at the Alltech Arena.

Show tickets range from $25 for VIP seating to $15 general

admission for adults, and $10 for children ages 3-12. Barn Tour tickets are $5

for adults and complimentary for one accompanying child when purchased with a

show ticket. Tickets to the Post Production Party to "meet and greet" the cast

are $25 per person, adult or child.
