Victory Gallop-Help Us Help Kids!

DeGraff Stables is pleased to continue in 2012 the popular Charity Program we began in 2011. We will once again donate a portion of each Futurity Breeding booked to the Charity of the Mare Owners Choice from our list of eligible organizations. In 2011, we chose many deserving programs. All of these will still be available in 2012 as a selection option. We will also continue to find programs that provide relief, hope and help to individuals.  October’s Feature Charity Program is Victory Gallop.  A non-profit organization that strives to improve the quality of life for children with behavioral and/or emotional challenges and life threatening illnesses through the therapeutic use of horses.  For more information View our complete DeGraff Stables Charity Sponsor Program.

9 11 Heros and Victims - We Will NEVER Forget!

DeGraff Stables would like to take this moment today to offer our heartfelt sympathies, care and love to the families and friends of all emergency responders and people lost on this day 10 years ago.  I found this video on YouTube and think that it portrays stunning images of just one of the horrific events of that day.  May we as Americans NEVER forget who we are and what we fight for each day; our freedom from terroism.  In the Arms of Angels: A September 11 Memorial.
