SANTA BARBARA, Calif., May 6, 2026 — Hearts Therapeutic Equestrian Center will host its annual Barn Dance Fundraiser & Auction on Saturday, May 16, from 5 to 8 p.m. at The Carriage & Western Art Museum, 129 Castillo Street in Santa Barbara, to raise support for equine-assisted services for children and adults with disabilities, veterans, and other community members.
“The Barn Dance is one of the most important nights of the year for Hearts because it allows the community to see, celebrate and sustain this work,” said Andrew Wilson, Board Chairman of Hearts Therapeutic Equestrian Center. “Every ticket, donation and auction bid helps keep these programs within reach for local families, supports the care of our horses and strengthens the place where participants come to build confidence, connection and independence.”
