From Our President

Dear Germantown Charity Members, Sponsors, and Friends,
With much appreciation, thank you to all our exhibitors, sponsors, and friends!
Considerable work has gone into planning and producing the 2023 Germantown Charity Horse Show, but without you, this 74th anniversary show would not be possible. We are very grateful for your presence and support in continuing the tradition of The Charity.
You are our reason we work hard to make sure your experience at the Germantown Charity Horse Show is one to remember. For decades, the GCHS has been known for its hospitality and charity, and we take great pride in continuing these traditions.
We hope your time with us is enjoyable and comfortable. Please stay on the lookout and take advantage of our Welcome Wagon, which comes around twice daily to serve water, lemonade, and sweet tea to keep you refreshed and hydrated. Also, we hope you’ll join us each afternoon for the Wine & Cheese event. And the Exhibitors’ Parties and VIP Sponsorship Party are not to be missed.
Proceeds from the show and sale of programs go to our benefitting charity, Kindred Place, a counseling and education center for adults and children in the Shelby County area. Through classes, individual sessions, and group therapy, Kindred Place helps families navigate the challenges of parenting and partnerships to build stronger connections, improve communication, and resolve conflicts peacefully.
To everyone who spends time on our showgrounds, we hope your days are filled with enjoyable experiences that make lifelong memories. To all who have worked tirelessly for this year’s competition, our family wishes you much luck and satisfaction. Thank you for choosing the Germantown Charity Horse Show as part of your summer. You have certainly made ours the best!
Sincerely yours,
Mary Livesay
GCHS President
