Changing Lives Through Canine Support Teams

​

At the forefront of this year’s charitable efforts is Canine Support Teams, an organization dedicated to providing highly trained service dogs to veterans and individuals with disabilities—at no cost to those who receive them.

​

These remarkable dogs are more than companions. They are lifelines—offering support, increased independence, and the ability to navigate everyday life with confidence. Each CST service dog is trained in over 70 specialized commands, empowering their partners to regain a sense of freedom and stability.

​

Through the support of the equestrian community, there is an opportunity to directly impact lives by helping fund the training and placement of these extraordinary animals.

The Silver Oak Jumper Tournament encourages individuals, businesses, and members of the equestrian industry to consider sponsoring—or partially sponsoring—a service dog. By doing so, you become part of a life-changing journey for someone in need.

Turn One Class Into a Lasting Impact

​

The Silver Oak Jumper Tournament is also proud to support the Kevin Babington Foundation, continuing its mission to provide critical financial assistance to show jumping athletes who have suffered spinal cord injuries.

​

Through the Babington Benefit Class initiative, horse shows across the country are invited to dedicate a single class—or a portion of entry fees—to support injured riders while promoting safety within the sport.
