Proceeds from Vermont Dressage Days benefit two Vermont charities, and we are proud to help these outstanding organizations fulfill their missions:

Formed in 1974, WHBW has evolved into the largest service provider for battered women in Vermont. We believe that all women and children have the right to live without fear of battering - sexual, physical, emotional, or financial.

Our vision is an end of physical, sexual, emotional and economic abuse and to promote cultural systems that foster justice, equity and safety.

Our mission is to support, identify options and advocate for those who have experienced domestic violence and serve as a catalyst for social change.

The Vermont Humane Federation (VHF) was formed in 1990 by the merger of two humane organizations, the Vermont Humane Society, founded in the late 1800’s and the Vermont Federation of Humane Societies, which began in 1977.

The Vermont Humane Federation is a strong, unified network of organizations and individuals dedicated to promoting the welfare of all animals. Members meet regularly in an effort to network and discuss ideas.

The VHF continues to play an active role in promoting legislative improvement in Montpelier. The VHF supports education initiatives and works collaboratively on issues involving animal cruelty and neglect, disaster planning and ongoing issues pertaining to animal welfare, and has launched a toll-free Animal Welfare Line: 877-9-HUMANE (877-948-6263).
