The Derby Dash Bash is the signature annual fund raising event for the operating fund of Rocking Horse Ranch. Monies raised help support operating expenses such as care of our horses, maintenance of our facility, insurance and utility costs, and employee salaries. In addition, following great success of our Derby Darlings, we have expanded this event to complement the Derby Dash Bash. We hope to see you and your family at Greenville Country Club.
