This is the 73rd year for the event.

It's held at the Red Mile and runs from Monday night through Saturday.

All the money raised through the event goes to charities and educational purposes.

Monday night, the Junior League presented $50,000 to 11 organizations.

Some of the agencies who received grant money are the Alzheimer's Association, the Manchester Center, Girls on the Run, and God's Pantry.

In it's lifetime, the Junior League Horse Show has raised nearly 4-million dollars for local charities.
